- "Ami Quetzal" is our way of saying "Friend of Quetzal" (Ket-zal).
We are a small family run business created in part as a way of participating in helping the planet
to hold on to its remaining beauty. Our choices as consumers not only affect the lives of people
everywhere, but the entire biosphere. Buying ecologically grown and fairly traded coffee directly supports the people and environment of the coffee growing regions.
Ami Quetzal Coffee aims to reach out farther by donating a percentage of proceeds from the sale of our coffee to organizations that focus on conservation, in particular, the habitat and migratory routes of the Resplendent Quetzal~the endangered national bird of Guatemala.
Our specialty coffee is grown in San Marcos, located in the highlands of Guatemala. Here, coffee is grown at high altitude in rich volcanic earth, producing some of the world's best Arabica beans.
The superior quality hard bean (SHB) classification of Barranqueno Oro allows for a range of roasting potential without losing its multifaceted flavours or spicy aroma ~ consistently present, even after the intense heat of dark roasting.
This coffee is chemical free, small batch roasted and air-cooled to give you the maximum benefits of taste and health.
Take a tour of our roast descriptions below to select your favorite cup of coffee and enjoy the journey ~ Buen Viaje!

- Gaze at the majestic image of a volcano against a cobalt sky… Rico means Rich. Here, the coffee has developed the most possible body without losing its peak acidity and varietal uniqueness. Taste this coffee and a Guatemalan fiesta unfolds; Marimba music sounds the rhythm of piquant high notes and spicy overtones, balanced with nutty and cocoa flavored bass notes. A unique and traditional Guatemalan experience.

- Behold a whisper of sunset colors - a distant volcano gently smoldering, silhouetted against a darkening sky… This is where acidity is traded for body - high notes are softened and sweetened as sugar caramelizes and body becomes smooth and choc lately. You have a full flavored spicy cup with just a hint of acidity to support the lushness.
