PRICING EXPLAINED

 *This is the FOB (Free On Board) price: the price paid to the exporter before shipping, and which does not include shipping costs, weight loss (around 17%), storage and other charges. Ultimately, the FOB price represents the $ figure that stays in the coffee's country of origin, benefiting its producer, community, and beyond. 

^This is the 'raw' price paid directly to the producer, and paid in the local currency for parchment coffee. The coffee is then milled and sorted before being placed in bags, ready for shipping.

ABOUT 

In 1958, Jorge Vides - the grandfather of this family - founded Finca La Bolsa. He bought a plot of beautiful land, covered in forests, and proceeded to cultivate both Bourbon and Caturra varietals.

Living life as a full-time doctor, working Monday through Friday and constantly scheduling visits to his patients from various regions of the country, the farm emerged as his true hobby. Still, Jorge’s passion for health led him to become Director of the National Hospital of Huehuetenango which, to this day, bears his name. 

Not surprisingly, Jorge’s humanitarian sense extended beyond the production of his coffee. In 1980, he founded a school that still runs on the farm, named after him and authorised by the Ministry of Education. Four years later, Anacafé (the Guatemala National Coffee Association) named him “Distinguished Coffee Grower” due to this success in production work. 

In 2001, with both second and third-generation Vides family members now working on the farm, practices evolved in order to engage a new goal: the production of specialty coffee. The farm is now run by Jorge’s daughter Elena with assistance from her son Renardo.
