Onyx has partnered with the Villatoro family for over 15 years to bring their coffee to roasters in the US. The Villatoros are well regarded as premier producers in Guatemala and grow extremely sought after coffees. They are regular prize winners in Guatemala Cup of Excellence and Best of Guatemala competitions.

Many of our favorites come from the Villatoro family including the Guayabales lot from Pedro. Click for roasting and shipping timeline info.
