Through hard work, sweat, and multiple warehouses, La Armonia Hermosa coffee has arrived to East Tennessee. This direct trade coffee from the farmers of Santa Maria de Jesus, Guatemala, was brought to Maryville by the mastermind behind the operation Les Stoneham. Through his will power, fund-raising, and coffee knowledge, Les was able to get high quality coffee for a fair price for the farmers from the small co-operative that he is aiding in developing in Guatemala.Les also sets up trips for interested parties to go down to Guatemala and be involved in the coffee growing and coffee processing process. In fact, the exact coffee that was delivered from Santa Maria de Jesus, Jamie and he had a hand in processing while in Guatemala. If you are interested in knowing more about this project check out their website or email Les@laarmoniahermosa.com. Check back on here for more updates. We will be roasting and cupping the coffee in the next couple weeks to find what kind of roast will bring out the best qualities and flavors of this unique coffee.
