The Origin
This Coffee from Coffee-Direct originates from Guatemala.
Although Guatemala is now highly praised for its delicious coffees, this wasn’t always the case.
Coffee was first introduced to the country in the late 1700s by the incoming Jesuit missionaries.
However, coffee-growing didn’t really take off until the mid-19th century after textile manufacturing led to a decline in Gautemala’s export of Indigo.
Taking advantage of the country's ideal coffee-growing land, the then dictatorial President Justo Rufio Barrios concentrated on building Guatemala’s coffee export industry.
He did this by taking over once communally-owned land, which mainly belonged to the indigenous Mayans, and transforming it into coffee plantations.
Barrios’ plan was hugely successful - by 1880, coffee accounted for over 90% of Guatemala’s exports.

The Origin
The Rwanda coffee from Coffee-Direct originates from the Lake Kivu Region of Rwanda.
Known as the land of a thousand hills, Rwanda has the perfect environment to grow speciality Arabica coffee.
Since the genocide of the 90’s, coffee has played a huge role in getting the country back to where it once was.
The introduction of washing stations and the education of younger generations about growing high quality coffee has been a symbol of positivity in Rwanda.
Unlike its neighbours, Rwanda’s coffee industry operates with no large estates. The majority of the coffee that is grown in Rwanda originates from one of the 400,000 small hold coffee farms, most of which is less than a quarter of a hectare.

Although there is the odd speciality Robusta, the majority of coffee grown in Rwanda is Arabica, 95% of which is one of several long-established Bourbon varieties.
Rwanda has a slightly different flavour profile to that of an Ethiopian or Kenyan. What it lacks in bright citrus notes it makes up for in deeper, more concentrated fruit flavours.
