Afternoon Eve, Guatemala in short

Afternoon Eve is a sweet, citrusy, 100% Arabica coffee from Guatemala. A tad exotic, with caramel notes. Ideal for those who want to sip a Ray & Jules coffee later in the day. Read more. 

Sustainable coffee from Ray & Jules: slow and freshly roasted with the power of the sun.

Impact: Sugarcane decaf & direct trade

Finding a decaf coffee that’s decaffeinated without chemical solvents and still retains plenty of flavor and character is a challenge. For this coffee, we use the same beans as our Powerful Peter from Guatemala. This is a collaboration with Doña Olga. At the beautiful San Florencio finca, Olga works with her (grand)daughter on the weekends; during the week, she works as a teacher because they can’t make a living solely from coffee. The finca is located in a stunning paradise, full of flowers, tropical plants, ancient trees, and birds of every color.

What's special
about this coffee

Powerful Peter was the reason to travel to the origin for the first time (in 2021). Much of the information read online really became clear and meaningful. The difficult reality of the farmers hit us.

In February 2024, Sarah headed to the region again, this time to build a partnership with Doña Olga. At the beautiful finca San Florencio, Olga works on weekends with her (grand)daughter, during the week she is a teaching assistant because they cannot make a sufficient living from coffee. The finca is located in a beautiful paradise, full of flowers, tropical plants, old trees and birds of all colors. With this collaboration we support Olga. We agreed to buy Olga's entire harvest. You can read the result in this blog.

About coffee from Guatemala

Coffee in Guatemala only became important after 1856 when chemical dyes drastically reduced the demand for "indigo" (natural dye). Indigo was then the main export product and so the government began to look for ways to encourage the coffee industry. The government did not always do this in an ethically responsible manner and the land of indigenous peoples was taken en masse.

In the 1950s, reform law came to expropriate and redistribute land for agricultural activities. This caused a lot of fuss and eventually resulted in a long civil war (1960-1996) that is still felt today and causes a lot of problems for the Guatemalan people. Coffee from Guatemala is very varied, ranging from rather light, very sweet, fruity and complex coffees to heavy, rich and more chocolatey flavors.

Producers & cooperative

Since June, Powerful Peter has come from the paradisiacal finca of single woman doña Olga, in Las Barrancas, Quetzaltenango. Together with her daughter Alejandra, she grows the most delicious beans. Her farm is within walking distance of her aunt's, Doña Alba.

A beautiful region, but with a sad history where the government in the 1980s massively persecuted the indigenous people and destroyed their villages.
