Don Guayo I Guatemala

We are proud to announce the return of one of our community's favorite coffees, Don Guayo! We first started purchasing this lot back in 2019 from our importing partner Bonaventure, and we have looked forward to every harvest since.

For years, famed Guatemalan producer and exporter, Luis Pedro Zelaya has collected the best bourbon lots from small producers near Antigua to blend into specialty coffees marketed as the indigenous term “Hunapu”. In 2012 before Bonaventure even launched, they asked Luis Pedro to select the first Hunapu producer to be celebrated individually. He knew without question the most consistent individual in both production and quality, Eduardo “Guayo” Gomez, but he is better known by his neighbors and friends as Don Guayo.

Don Guayo is a perennial favorite for good reason. A compact selection of the bourbon variety, Bourboncito, proves perfectly suited to the warm sandy slopes of Volcan de Agua. This is where the most focused producer on the volcano draws out perfectly balanced and structured flavors of both orange fruits and chocolates that are secured by the impeccable processing of the Zelcafe team at Bella Vista.
