Two Volcanos Espresso Blend is an exquisite coffee selection combining beans from three of Guatemala’s premier growing regions: San Marcos, Antigua and Huehuetenango. Grown on volcanic soil, harvested by family farms using innovative shade-grown techniques that preserve strips of intact rainforest between planting areas to reduce biodiversity loss while providing enough sunlight for fruitful harvests. Organic certification by Fair Trade USA makes Two Volcanos even more delicious!

Women-run farms that provide fair wages to their families. Most farmers live in remote villages without running water or telephone services, yet take part in a program in which part of coffee exporters’ earnings is set aside to rebuild schools in these communities and buy books for students.

Illiteracy is a serious issue in this region, with 70 to 80% of residents being illiterate. Santiago also supports women-centric businesses by offering loans to women looking to start small businesses; trained in record keeping, bookkeeping and basic business management skills will then allow these women to apply these skills within their businesses and increase incomes to benefit themselves and their families.
