The name pays homage to their ongoing peaceful resistance to the Escobal silver mine, built without their consent and managed by the Canadian-based extractive firm, Pan-American Silver.\u003cbr\u003eWhile theoretically the price of cherry is decided in relation to the New York Stock Exchange coffee commodity price, really anything goes for these buyers. As producers have little to no option, they simply sell to whoever they can, and accept whatever price is offered. In 2022, we saw massive increases in price as the C market boomed. Despite that, we still set prices that were above what was locally available and kept those same prices as a base for this year. That means that any grower, regardless of their quality, received 1750 Quetzal \/ quintal of parchment coffee, and those who invested in their processing set ups received 1850.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWilson Zuleta\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA note from the importer, Semilla:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilson is one of the youngest producers we work with in all of Guatemala. At only 21, he had the large challenge of taking over the farm duties from his brother, Denis, who sadly made the tough decision to migrate to the United States last year. This is always one of the hardest things for us to hear, and always a hard decision to make for any smallholder but the reality is that coffee growing continues to be a very challenging way to make money in areas like Escobal in Mataquescuintla. That being said, our commitment is to the communities of the resistance and so we were very happy to tell Denis’s family that we would happily continue to purchase their coffee this year under the name of Wilson, making this his first ever international sale. Wilson is the fourth generation of coffee growers in his family, and he’s been very animated about the opportunity provided to him now to try to “push his family forward and grow his farm” via selling his coffee internationally. As he shared, his goals from this new stage in his life are to “improve the quality of life for my family, to grow our drying area to be better able to process more coffee, and to continue to achieve better prices for our coffee to guarantee that our efforts are compensated.” Going further, Wilson shared this message: “We would like to share a little more of the reality of the coffee grower, the effort and love that goes into every bag of coffee. I would love to hear comments from our clients as well, because wherever there is something to be improved, we want to do it” Thanks for supporting Wilson, and Cafe Colis Resistencia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFarmgate price: 1850 Quetzal \/ quintal parchment coffee.\u003cbr\u003eRegional farmgate price (2023): 1100 Quetzal \/ quintal parchment coffee.\u003cbr\u003eFOB Price: $3.46USD\/lb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFernando Melgar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA note from the importer, Semilla:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFernando Melgar manages one of the largest farms we purchase from in Guatemala, alongside his oldest son, Allan. Located north of the town of Casillas, they have been growing coffee here for three generations and are managing some of the most exotic varieties of all the growers we work with including Gesha and SL-28 that they’ve planted in the last two years. Allan and his father are collaborators in the Resistance movement which means they mostly participate economically, giving financial support to the growers due to their relatively more established resources than many in the group. In fact, Allan and Fernando are probably the biggest producers that Semilla works with in the entire world, as their farm is around 28 hectares in size. This is nearly ten times the average farm size of the producers we work with in the country and means that they are able to produce differently processed coffees thanks to their larger\u003cbr\u003emeans. That being said, Fernando and Allan have still been largely kept out of selling their coffee directly for international sale. They have mainly sold their coffees through the local cooperative structure in Guatemala, which means they may receive a differentiated price but that they have no idea where their coffee goes or who their final buyer was. In our case, we’ve been working to connect the Melgars with direct and stable clients for the last four years, purchasing their coffees and explaining in transparency where their coffee went, and what the final results were for the roasters who purchased them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFarmgate price: 1750 Quetzal \/ quintal parchment coffee.\u003cbr\u003eRegional farmgate price (2023): 1100 Quetzal \/ quintal parchment coffee.\u003cbr\u003eFOB Price: $3.46USD\/lb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-11-24T17:13:37-07:00","created_at":"2023-11-15T15:55:26-07:00","vendor":"Roasti Coffee Co.","type":"Coffee","tags":[],"price":800,"price_min":800,"price_max":9400,"available":true,"price_varies":true,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44531043270879,"title":"354g \/ Whole Bean","option1":"354g","option2":"Whole Bean","option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Holiday Roast 2023 -

The name pays homage to their ongoing peaceful resistance to the Escobal silver mine, built without their consent and managed by the Canadian-based extractive firm, Pan-American Silver.\u003cbr\u003eWhile theoretically the price of cherry is decided in relation to the New York Stock Exchange coffee commodity price, really anything goes for these buyers. As producers have little to no option, they simply sell to whoever they can, and accept whatever price is offered. In 2022, we saw massive increases in price as the C market boomed. Despite that, we still set prices that were above what was locally available and kept those same prices as a base for this year. That means that any grower, regardless of their quality, received 1750 Quetzal \/ quintal of parchment coffee, and those who invested in their processing set ups received 1850.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWilson Zuleta\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA note from the importer, Semilla:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilson is one of the youngest producers we work with in all of Guatemala. At only 21, he had the large challenge of taking over the farm duties from his brother, Denis, who sadly made the tough decision to migrate to the United States last year. This is always one of the hardest things for us to hear, and always a hard decision to make for any smallholder but the reality is that coffee growing continues to be a very challenging way to make money in areas like Escobal in Mataquescuintla. That being said, our commitment is to the communities of the resistance and so we were very happy to tell Denis’s family that we would happily continue to purchase their coffee this year under the name of Wilson, making this his first ever international sale. Wilson is the fourth generation of coffee growers in his family, and he’s been very animated about the opportunity provided to him now to try to “push his family forward and grow his farm” via selling his coffee internationally. As he shared, his goals from this new stage in his life are to “improve the quality of life for my family, to grow our drying area to be better able to process more coffee, and to continue to achieve better prices for our coffee to guarantee that our efforts are compensated.” Going further, Wilson shared this message: “We would like to share a little more of the reality of the coffee grower, the effort and love that goes into every bag of coffee. I would love to hear comments from our clients as well, because wherever there is something to be improved, we want to do it” Thanks for supporting Wilson, and Cafe Colis Resistencia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFarmgate price: 1850 Quetzal \/ quintal parchment coffee.\u003cbr\u003eRegional farmgate price (2023): 1100 Quetzal \/ quintal parchment coffee.\u003cbr\u003eFOB Price: $3.46USD\/lb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFernando Melgar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA note from the importer, Semilla:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFernando Melgar manages one of the largest farms we purchase from in Guatemala, alongside his oldest son, Allan. Located north of the town of Casillas, they have been growing coffee here for three generations and are managing some of the most exotic varieties of all the growers we work with including Gesha and SL-28 that they’ve planted in the last two years. Allan and his father are collaborators in the Resistance movement which means they mostly participate economically, giving financial support to the growers due to their relatively more established resources than many in the group. In fact, Allan and Fernando are probably the biggest producers that Semilla works with in the entire world, as their farm is around 28 hectares in size. This is nearly ten times the average farm size of the producers we work with in the country and means that they are able to produce differently processed coffees thanks to their larger\u003cbr\u003emeans. That being said, Fernando and Allan have still been largely kept out of selling their coffee directly for international sale. They have mainly sold their coffees through the local cooperative structure in Guatemala, which means they may receive a differentiated price but that they have no idea where their coffee goes or who their final buyer was. In our case, we’ve been working to connect the Melgars with direct and stable clients for the last four years, purchasing their coffees and explaining in transparency where their coffee went, and what the final results were for the roasters who purchased them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFarmgate price: 1750 Quetzal \/ quintal parchment coffee.\u003cbr\u003eRegional farmgate price (2023): 1100 Quetzal \/ quintal parchment coffee.\u003cbr\u003eFOB Price: $3.46USD\/lb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e"}
