Our family legacy in the Fraijanes region of Guatemala traces back to a time when coffee was introduced to this land by early explorers. At the heart of our journey stands Finca La Concha, acquired by Isidro Pivaral Batres in 1876, a farm that holds a significant place in the coffee industry, as it became the first organic coffee processing facility for exports and the founder of OCIA in Guatemala.
At El Catuai, we take great pride in our continuous pursuit of innovation, our organic and sustainable methods stand as a testament to our commitment to the highest industry standards. With more than ten Arabica varieties, grown in high altitudes and in volcanic pumice soil, each bean we cultivate delivers a high-quality cup, renowned for its bright and persistent acidity and well-rounded mouthfeel. By working in harmony with nature, we ensure the health of our land, coffee plants, and the environment.
Our dedication to transparency extends beyond the fields, as we believe in fostering genuine connections with buyers while striving for a sustainable future, protecting the environment at every step.
