Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions to save you some time and headache....
Are finca El Quetzal and El Quetzal Coffee Co. affiliates?

The farm in Nicaragua is ran by the daughter of Dr. Frank Bendaña, Ana Bendaña and the EQCC is ran by her daugher...Ana Bendaña and her husband Justin Sieve.

Are your coffees really from your farm?

All of our estate coffees come directly from one of our farms and our packaging will also tell you where it's grown. Our family has long had roots in both the US and Nicaragua and we decided it was long past time to bring our coffee's back home.

Since we're on the farm planting and picking, at the mill drying, grading, and loading it for export we have complete control what we choose to roast and market. It only makes sense that we bring to market the same select coffees we pack and throw in a suitcase to share with each other.

Who (roasts/buys/markets) your coffee?

From seed to export our coffee is our coffee at every step of the way. Thanks to the wonders of modern transport we don't own our own ships but we import through Houston and roast with an existing, trusted supplier

We're currently expanding our presence in the St. Louis and San Francisco Bay Area markets. If you're interesting in our green coffee, roaster collaborations, retail product, or purchase our coffees wholesale reach out to us and we'd love to talk.
