Edwin Martinez (Vista Hermosa)

Description

2026 marks our 22nd anniversary of working with Edwin Martínez of Finca Vista Hermosa in Guatemala. This coffee Edwin named Centenario to reflect the timeless quality of the coffee, to celebrate his grandfathers 105th birthday and to recognize the legacy and history of our relationship.

PRODUCER:

Edwin Martinez is the driving force behind Finca Vista Hermosa in Huehuetenango, Guatemala. Our relationship with Edwin began in 2004, and has blossomed into many wonderful experiences. A pioneer in importing Huehuetenango coffees, he has helped bring other coffee producers in the region to global recognition. Building on his family’s farming legacy, Edwin continues to innovate while honoring generations of coffee tradition.

PLACE:

Guatemala’s coffee story is shaped by rugged volcanoes and extreme altitude. Coffee grows across eight regions—Antigua, Huehuetenango, Acatenango, Atitlán, Cobán, Fraijanes, San Marcos, and Nuevo Oriente—at 1,300–2,000+ meters. Volcanic soils, strong diurnal temperature shifts, and diverse microclimates define flavor. Harvest runs November through April, yielding structured, high-acidity coffees prized globally.
