About Two Birds:

We are a family business (as you can see by all our exact same last names). If there is one thing we are certain of, it’s this: An organic, environmentally and equity conscious farm in Guatemala is not sustainable if it remains dependent on the C-Market.

Our mission is to provide economic stability to coffee farms that provide economic and environmental stability to its employees and communities.

This involves minimizing the farms’ ecological footprint, promoting organic practices, paying employees a livable and dignified wage, and providing a quality cup of coffee. We seek to work with farms in Guatemala and roasters in the US that truly value the environment, their employees, and their communities in a manner that is sustainable for all our stakeholders. We hope you let us be part of your coffee journey!

With a solid background in sales and digital marketing, and a passion for our cultural background, we began a journey in the coffee industry that allowed us to learn, appreciate, and understand the nuances behind a great cup of coffee and the supply chain's intricacies that support it.

Today, and through great encounters, we now offer delicious award-winning, exotic, and rare coffees from around the world.
