COOPESQUI
COOPESQUI is a coffee cooperative based in La Libertad, Huehuetenango, Guatemala, that supports over 470 smallholder farmers. Founded in 1961, the organization has worked since 1990 to improve coffee quality and processing standards in the region. The cooperative manages its own wet and dry mills, which allows for the separation and traceability of individual high-quality lots. Their work focuses on providing technical, social, and environmental support to indigenous farmers to help preserve cultural heritage and improve livelihoods.
History
Three women represented COOPESQUI at Intelligentsia's 2020 ECWx quality event. The roaster sourced a small lot that year and continued buying from the cooperative for four consecutive seasons.
