The story behind Ismael Quinteros - Guatemala

Ismael Quinteros Orantes is a third-generation coffee grower in Santa Rosa, Guatemala. Coffee has been a part of the family’s life for nearly 60 years, with roots reaching back to Ismael’s grandfather. What began as an experiment with both sugarcane and coffee quickly grew into a lifelong commitment to coffee growing when the family realized coffee’s long-term potential.

As a child, Ismael followed his father in the work on the farm and learned early the basics of cultivation, care, and harvest. These experiences shaped not only his professional skills but also his passion for the craft. Today, he combines traditional knowledge with a clear ambition to develop as a producer.

The path has not been easy. Lack of labor during harvest season, the threat of coffee rust, and increasingly extreme weather conditions due to climate change pose constant challenges. Despite this, Ismael has managed to improve the quality of his coffee, increase profitability, and reach international markets. His goal is to continue refining his process and one day meet the roasters and coffee drinkers who appreciate his coffee around the world.

Coffee's process

1. Origin & producer

The coffee is grown by Ismael Quinteros in Santa Rosa, Guatemala, at an altitude of 1,760 meters. The cool highland environment contributes to slow ripening and the development of soft, nuanced flavors.

2. Process

The coffee is washed, which gives a clean and clear cup where fruity and chocolatey notes appear with high clarity and balance.

3. Brewing

Roasted for drip brewing. Excellent for hand filters such as V60 and Kalita, but also works very well in electric brewers where its silky body and mild fruitiness come to the fore.
