Brewing

We suggest using this coffee for filter brew methods, such as a pourover, aeropress, chemex or batch brew (or similar). It's roasted a bit lighter to accentuate the delicious fruitiness and acidity that we love.

Growth Story

Founded by Jorge Vides In 1958, Finca La Bolsa Is a coffee plantation located In La Libertad, Huehuetenango. As a Doctor and Director of the National Hospital of Huehuetenango, his coffee farm was a true passion project.

Dedicating time between his patients and coffee, Jorge transformed a forest- covered land, successfully cultivating Bourbon and Caturra varietals. Now three generations later, Jorge's grandson Renardo Ovalle is head of the production over multiple Vides 58 farms. Vides 58 plantations are passionate about their sustainability model based on three pillars: Social Aspect, Agriculture and Environment. These values carry through in their community outreach efforts. In 1980, Jorge founded an elementary school for the children of his workers and the surrounding community. Finca La Bolsa opened its facilities to Association Coffee Care in 2012. Together they have created projects which seek to reduce child labour and improve the quality of life for coffee pickers and their families.
