Vides family

The Vides family operates in the Huehuetenango region of Guatemala, specifically within La Libertad. Their coffee production spans an altitude band of 1300 to 2100 meters above sea level.

The varietal landscape on their farms is dominated by Caturra and Bourbon, which account for the majority of their production. The family also cultivates smaller quantities of Yellow Bourbon, Catuai, and SL28, alongside other unspecified varieties.

Their process portfolio is primarily focused on washed coffees. Out of 19 total lots recorded in the index, 16 are processed using washed methods. The family also produces natural processed coffees, which appear in a smaller portion of their catalog.

The Vides family maintains a consistent presence in the specialty market, with 7 different roasters currently carrying their lots. Their catalog footprint includes 19 total coffees, with 4 lots currently in stock. Recent catalog examples include the Guatemala Paraiso from Padre Coffee, processed as a washed lot, and the La Bolsa #1 from Tres Cabezas, also a washed Caturra.

The work of the Vides family is characterized by a strong reliance on traditional washed processing and a focus on established varietals like Caturra and Bourbon.
