It’s International Women’s Day and we wanted to celebrate by highlighting one of the many badass women who make Granito Coffee possible.

Aurora is 26 and was born in exile in Mexico during Guatemala’s civil war but now calls Santa Anita home.

In addition to growing coffee with her family, Aurora is a dedicated activist and accomplished artist. She even designed the label for our own Café Santa Anita. She says the grandmother at the centre of the label represents wisdom, knowledge, and the role played by women at the centre of the coffee process.

And for Aurora, coffee has in turn helped contribute to women's empowerment and independence. By working her own land and selling her own harvest, she has been able to pursue her own dreams.

To learn more about Aurora’s story and the revolutionary women coffee growers of Santa Anita, check out Granito’s recent blog post , linked in the bio.

And to all the amazing women coffee producers who contribute their granito by pursuing their dreams, THANK YOU! And HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY!!!

Coffee is always evolving and one of Granito’s more experimental producers, Erwin Chayax and his wife, Carmen Cholotio, have been playing with something called anaerobic coffee. The what you say!?

The anaerobic process requires fermenting the coffee without any oxygen and lends itself to lots of tinkering. The result is a unique mix of exotic flavours with no two anaerobic coffees ever tasting exactly the same.

To learn more about Erwin’s anaerobic process check out Granito’s blog linked in the bio.

And visit granitocoffee.com to sample a bag of this special micro-lot that we roast just a little darker to complement its sweet, bold, and chocolatey flavour. It’s the perfect treat for Valentine's day.

Big thanks to Carmen and Jonathan for the video and Cooperativa La Voz for a few of the photos.

Happy Birthday APCASA!

To help celebrate APCASA’s 11th birthday and everything they’ve accomplished, we wanted to share just a little bit of their story.

At the crossroads where Guatemala’s western highlands end, and the slope down to the pacific ocean begins, sits a small multi-ethnic community of 35 families called Santa Anita.

Twenty-two years ago in the aftermath of Guatemala’s 36-year civil war, a group of former guerrilleros (or revolutionary soldiers) decided to trade in their guns and purchase an old coffee farm where they could (re)build their lives. The founders of Santa Anita La Union dedicated themselves to figuring out everything they needed to know about growing, processing, and selling coffee.

With success, also came hardships. Internal disagreement over strategic visions divided the community and then a rust coloured fungus called Roya swept through the region, wiping out over 70% of Santa Anita’s coffee plants.

But coffee is more than just any old commodity for these revolutionary farmers and a small band re-formed their coffee association calling it APCASA. Then, with a little help from , the and , they managed to replace over 45,000 coffee trees and begin again to export their beans and share their story with the world.

APCASA helped inspire Granito Coffee and we want to wish our dear friends and mentors a very happy birthday! Feliz cumpleaños amigxs!

We're also proud to help spread their granitos in Canada and the US! To learn more about Santa Anita, check out the APCASA blog post and get your bag of their revolutionary beans in our online shop! Links in our bio!
