TWO BIRDS - GUATEMALA
Two Birds ties in the coffee industry began through family owned farm, Finca Esperanza, but continue to grow and flourish from a desire to promote and sell environmentally and equity conscious Guatemalan coffee without the need of a middle-man.
Brothers Diego and Francisco now travel the globe, with clients in the United States, Canada, and Saudi Arabia, selling coffees from 5 different farms in Guatemala. Along with mother, Ana, and sister Anamaria, this vertical family business is paving the way for ethical and sustainable consumption of coffee from farm-to-roaster and finally to your cup at home.

STEMMA CRAFT COFFEE - NICARAGUA
In June of 2023, Zac visited Orlando, FL and without disparaging other coffee shops in the area, the clear winner was Stemma coffee downtown.
Stemma’s retail shop serves to bring the beans from their coffee farms in Nicaragua to an American market.
Owned by the mother and daughter duo of Maria and Rebecca Blandon., they shared with Zac not only the story of their love of coffee and vision for a retail coffee shop beautiful enough to stand out in downtown Orlando, but also the tragic story of their husband/father Alvaro’s untimely death. He was a third generation farmer with a vision for this exact coffee shop that he shared with his wife and daughter, who is now leading this fourth generation in coffee.
