Guatemala Flor de Maiz comes from a Maya Ixil cooperative in Villa Hortensia Antigua, founded in 2002 through a land credit program. Members grow coffee alongside corn and vegetables, handpicking ripe cherry and processing it on-farm before delivering parchment to a central warehouse. The cooperative built a school, housing, and a watershed forest reserve to support its community. Flor de Maíz represents both quality coffee and collective resilience—grown at altitude, fully washed, and sun-dried with care by smallholder families working together.
