Huehuetenango is the furthest north region in Guatemala, right next to Chiapas Mexico. It is also the most mountainous region in Central America. It is the most famous coffee growing region in Guatemala for good reason.

The heart of the greatest coffee producing region.

This coffee project is centered in the village of Gaitania where Emmanuel Enciso is a coffee grower raised by coffee growing parents, who taught him everything about coffee. In 2006 he had the opportunity to learn much more about processes, quality, and varieties; managing to focus his farm and several producers in the micro region on producing specialty coffees. But he had a problem in common with so many other coffee growers, they did not have the capacity to produce large quantities, because they did not have a central coffee processing center for quality processes. That is why in 2016 he began with his family to create a coffee processing center that became a strategic bridge between more than 15 villages in Gaitania and now Emmanuel and his family are processing the coffees of coffee growers throughout the area.  

Emanuel Encisco

Don Felipe Martinez's journey began in 1957 when he started cultivating coffee in the remote highlands of Huehuetenango, Guatemala, facing challenges like limited access to infrastructure and markets. Over the years, his grandson Edwin Martinez developed a vision to connect smallholder farmers in Guatemala with quality-focused coffee roasters worldwide, leading to the creation of Onyx Coffee. Finca Vista Hermosa, the family farm, nestled in the picturesque landscape of Huehuetenango, serves as a symbol of their commitment to sustainable and ecologically sound farming practices. The farm boasts various micro-lots with elevations ranging from 1400 to over 1900 meters above sea level, producing high-quality Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) coffees. Furthermore, the Martinez family actively engages in community development, offering agronomist visits and healthcare support to neighboring farmers and indigenous communities. Their legacy of three generations embodies a dedication to coffee and the well-being of the region.
