In January 2024, we began tasting cherries from the lot selected for Methodical and picked them at peak sweetness—helped by light rain and sunny days that boosted sugar development. Harvested on January 18th, the cherries were washed with spring water, then underwent anaerobic fermentation. Three days later, the cherries were de-pulped and dried in Chiquimula’s warm, dry climate. Once at 11% moisture, they rested in the warehouse to deepen flavor.

PRODUCER

Giovanni De Paz

Region

Olopa, Chiquimula, Guatemala

Our family has a long history in agriculture and ranching, originally for survival and later as a business. Coffee has proven to be our most successful and sustainable crop. Our farms are primarily in eastern Guatemala, with coffee grown in Olopa, Chiquimula. In 2020, we opened a roasting lab in Alberta, Canada, gaining insights into consumer preferences and industry challenges. We believe strong partnerships, like the one with Methodical Coffee, are key to continued growth and shared success.

FAQ

When will my order ship?

Freshness is critical to fully enjoying coffee. We roast to order to ensure your coffee is at peak freshness when it arrives. We roast to order and ship Monday-Thursday. Orders are usually fulfilled the production day after they are placed (for example, orders placed on Monday will ship on Tuesday). Orders placed Thursday-Sunday will be fulfilled and shipped on Monday.
What if my package is delayed?

Sometimes our shipping partners experience delays due to weather, heightened demand, technical issues, pandemics, or aliens. All of which is out of our hands, except the aliens, but that's not for here.

If your package is delayed, let us know and we'll track it down and escalate its delivery. If it's delayed more than 2 weeks past the shipment date, and your order includes coffee, we'll either refund your money or ship you fresh coffee at no cost.
Can this item be returned?

For all non coffee or tea items, a full refund can be requested if the items are unused within 30 days of delivery. To start a refund, email us at info@methodicalcoffee.com and we'll get your taken care of.
Can my coffee be ground?

By you? Yes. By us, sadly, no. Currently, we can only ship whole-bean coffee.
