MORE ABOUT THIS COFFEE
Edilzar Ordóñez Mazariegos is a farmer from Amatenango de la Frontera, Chiapas, a stone's throw away from Huehuetenango, Guatemala. He is the son of Luis, and their 26-hectare farm is quite large by Mexican standards. Rony has been working the land for over 25 years.
The family cultivates more than a dozen different varieties and is highly focused on quality. His brothers, Edilzar and Meynor, help him in all aspects of farm management. The family's goal in owning a farm was to own 40 hectares of coffee- producing land. However, he only has half the labor he needs to manage his current acreage. In recent years they have invested heavily in making the farm more attractive to potential pickers: by offering better wages, free weekly food allowances, and improved mechanization on the farm to make the work easier.

SHIPPING: We ship orders on Tuesdays and Fridays. Order cutoff is 12pm the day PRIOR to the ship day. We do our best to ship your coffee within two days of roasting it. If you ever feel your coffee is not fresh enough, just let us know and we’ll replace it.
Domestic shipping is free for orders of $50 or more. Otherwise, it is a $7.50 flat rate anywhere in the US. We ship everything via UPS Ground.
NOTES ON GRINDING: If you choose “French Press” grind, expect it to be finer than usual, so you’re guaranteed good extraction. Some ultra fine coffee particles will make it through the screen and create a flavorful, albeit slightly opaque cup. In other words, we choose flavor over aesthetics. If you want to keep your cup looking cleaner, choose a pour over grind.
If you don’t see your preferred grind in the options then simply let us know in the notes section at checkout and we’d be happy to grind it for your favorite brewing method.
