MORE ABOUT THIS COFFEE

The Quetzal (the national bird of Guatemala) Program was born after the creation of “Regional Select - Waykan”, which was Cafe Imports’ way of highlighting the distinct regional differences we saw coming out of Guatemala. Cafe Imports heard from producers that they wanted to sell us more of their coffee, and Quetzal as a program allows them to buy more and pay more along the larger quality spectrum for high quality coffees from these hardworking men and women in Guatemala.

SHIPPING: We ship orders Monday - Friday. Order cutoff is 11:59pm to be shipped the NEXT shipping day. 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.
