San Rafael Las Flores is home to some of the finest specialty coffees Guatemala has to offer. Grown organically above 6,000 ft in volcanic rich soil, these strictly hard body beans are sweet and fruity, with notes of semi-sweet chocolate. Our beans have an AnaCafe (The National Coffee Assoc of Guatemala) S score of 84.75. We can 100% guarantee the quality has not been compromised, as they never leave our facility until exported. Single sourced direct from the mountain side of finca El Dorado, roast to order and delivered directly to your doorstep.
Sweet like sugar cane, semi-sweet chocolate, and medium acidity with nice mouth coat.
Raul Pivaral
Coffee Grower
Guatemala is home to over 300 micro-climates and many active volcanoes. The El Dorado Estate is blessed to be located in an area with ideal weather conditions, and rich volcanic soil producing a high quality coffee. Our farm is 6,250ft up on the hillsides of San Rafael Las Flores, Santa Rosa. Shaded by over 300+ avocado trees our young plants are lush with foliage and produce an abundance of coffee cherries.
Quality is our first priority. We strive to offer the highest quality possible. After the coffee is harvested, washed, and patio dried, they are double polished, checked for defects, sorted by size, and bagged for export; never leaving the farm. This way we can ensure the quality of our product has never been compromised and proudly stand behind our promise, guaranteeing its specialty S-score has been maintained.
Raul and his family have been growing coffee for several decades and hope it can continue to future generations. Golden Grounds LLC located in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, is a woman owned company, importing, roasting and selling raw or roasted coffee, only from Finca El Dorado. With these type of direct connections from grower to retailer, the farmer is ensured to get the most profit from the product, enabling them to pay the workers a fair wage for their work, supporting local families in the community.
We would like to thank everyone who has helped us on this amazing journey; family, friends, mentors and local business, helping our success by supporting us and encouraging us every step of the way. As our companies grow, it is our goal to also share the love back with our local communities and children that may need assistance. We truly hope you enjoy every sip of our coffee and we are excited to expand the farm to be able to offer a variety of high quality beans to you. Thank you for trying Golden Grounds from the land of El Dorado!!
