We’re always improving at Bean2Bean! That’s why the packaging you receive might look a little different than what you see here. But don’t worry! You’re still getting the same great product on the inside, just a different look on the outside.
San Carlos
San Carlos is one of three historic coffee farms owned by the Durán family located near downtown La Antigua, Guatemala. The main cultivar on this farm is 100-130 year old Bourbon varietals, but Caturra and Catuaí varietals are produced as well. Farmers are able to keep these plants healthy and productive by alternating the plants that are harvested each year and allowing them to rest instead of stressing them to produce on an annual basis.
Los Volcanes
San Carlos has been working with Los Volcanes Coffee (LVC) for over five years. LVC is responsible for overseeing the processing of the cherry harvest and performing quality control and assessment. They evaluate and assign profiles to coffees sent from San Carlos, which helps identify any issues that need to be fixed or changed. This helps the producer improve their farming practices and harvesting techniques, and yields a higher quality product.
Community in Coffee
Along with providing farm and community support, LVC also provides insight into the world of coffee in Guatemala, and raises social awareness in regards to the importance of the people behind every cup. Through building lasting relationships with both producers and roasters, they hope to bring people together and enable the world to enjoy delicious coffees while continuing to sustainably support this important agricultural economy in Guatemala.
