Why This Coffee is Whimsy

Tastes Like: Lindor Truffle, Toasted Cashew, Grapefruit Zest

Whimsical is the coffee that surprises you in the best way. Bright, sweet, and layered with character, it has that playful quality that keeps you coming back for another sip. It’s lively without being overwhelming, the kind of cup that makes you pause and think, “Wait, what is that?”

This lot comes from 115 women producers who are part of Guaya’b Asociación Civil (GUAYA’B) in Huehuetenango, Guatemala. Working together through the Manos de Mujer program, these women have built something remarkable: a regional coffee with vibrant flavour, grown organically, and supported by community-driven initiatives.

Whimsical is more than a delicious cup. It’s proof of what happens when women collaborate, innovate, and lead the way in one of Guatemala’s most rugged coffee-growing regions.

About the Producer: Guaya’b Asociación Civil (GUAYA’B)

The Manos de Mujer program within GUAYA’B empowers 115 women smallholders, each farming just a few acres of land. Together, they’ve created a traceable women-produced lot that showcases the vibrant flavours of Huehuetenango while also ensuring greater financial returns for the producers.

Beyond coffee, GUAYA’B provides vital resources to its members: technical training, soil analysis, micro-financing for farm upkeep, and education on organic fertilizer production. During harvest, the cooperative even runs a childcare program so women can work their farms knowing their children are safe and supported.

By pooling resources and knowledge, these women are producing exceptional coffees, building stronger communities and transforming opportunities for the next generation.

Sourcing in Guatemala

We came across this lot from one of our import partners, Royal Coffee. Huehuetenango is one of Guatemala’s most renowned coffee regions, known for its high altitudes, dramatic terrain, and microclimates that produce bright, complex coffees. But it’s also one of the most challenging places to grow and export coffee. Roads are rugged, the weather is extreme, and most farms are just a few acres in size.

That’s where GUAYA’B Asociación Civil comes in. The cooperative’s centralized wet mill plays a critical role, ensuring consistent quality while easing the burden of costly processing equipment for smallholders. Cherries are carefully sorted, fermented for 36–48 hours, washed, and patio-dried to 11% moisture, producing clean, high-quality lots with traceability back to the women who grew them.

By sourcing from the women of GUAYA’B, we’re not only bringing you a beautiful, whimsical cup, we’re supporting a system of farming rooted in equity, sustainability, and care.
