Goshen Coffee CompanyAbout This Coffee
Guatemala Cachito is a single origin coffee sourced from small landholder growers in the Huehuetenango region of Guatemala. The name "Cachito" is Mayan for "a small part of something," reflecting the collaborative relationships with local farmers. Standardized farm practices and improved processing techniques result in a cleaner, sweeter, and fruitier Guatemalan coffee. Offered as a medium roast.

Goshen Coffee Company
When entrepreneur Jay Beard discovered that founder Matt Herren was planning to close Goshen Coffee in 2011 after nine years of operation, Beard's eight-year morning coffee addiction drove him to purchase the entire company rather than find a new cup elsewhere. Their roasting philosophy centers around their custom-built fluid bed air roaster—a unique machine that bounces beans on cushions of heated air rather than tumbling them in traditional drums, achieving 90% greater energy efficiency while developing what they call "Good Shit Energy" through their cultivated trade approach that pays above fair trade pricing and builds lasting partnerships with growers.
