DONALDO VILLATORO
Donaldo and Florie Villatoro run their farm in La Democracia, high in Guatemala's Huehuetenango mountains.
DONALDO VILLATORO
Donaldo Villatoro’s family farm covers 25ha of land around La Democracia. Donaldo runs it with his wife Florie and their son Eduardo. We met the family on a trip to Guatemala in 2026 and cupped their coffee on site. The farm sits close to the Mexican border, where hot winds keep frost away even at high altitude. This gives the cherries a long, cool ripening period, building sweetness and acidity in the bean. The trees are traditional Bourbon, Typica and Catuai, processed as washed coffee at Donaldo's own wet mill. In this sweet and bright cup, we taste red apple, orange and milk chocolate.
