About this Coffee:
I had to delete this Youtube video I no longer control or own it.
We have been custom roasting for As
Green As It Gets for over 2 years. It just seemed funny for us to keep buying
our Guatemalan coffee from anyplace else. On August 11 2011 I called AGAIG and
now we are buying our Antigua direct from the growers! This is just one of a
few coffees I hope to buy direct like this. Remember Direct Trade is getting
all of the money back to the growers and IMHO is far better than any Fair Trade
Certified coffee.
From As Green As It Gets Site
Our farmers are exporting 21 tons of coffee! This export represents
the combined efforts of over 300 people from 64 farming families. From humble
beginnings, we have grown from 800 lbs to 42.000 lbs a year, and we’re still
growing!. Their capital investments continue to grow.
This certified scale weighs legal export weight.
This sewing machine seals each bag in seconds compared to the
twenty minutes it takes to sew a bag by hand.
Our farmers have their own export license, export plantation
code, FDA registration, tax-payer id number, certified receipts, a legal business
entity with board of directors, registered land titles, and a host of legal
paperwork to make them bonafide producers and exporters. Thats exciting, but
not as exciting as #24378.
This year, the farmers are exporting as Plantation #24378.
That number indicates that the government of Guatemala has
recognized them as legal, registered, independent producers and exporters of
coffee.
