We’re just a couple who decided to take a big leap of faith and start selling some really good coffee. A few years ago, Guillermo, a colleague of my husband, came back from a trip back home in Guatemala and gave him a bag of coffee. We opened up the bag and the whole house smelled heavenly. It turns out that Guillermo’s family owns a coffee plantation in Guatemala which was started by his grandfather. We never really thought about going into business until Carlos, Guillermo’s son, approached us and said he wanted to introduce his coffee to the U.S. market. Mimi started looking at selling at farmer’s markets but we were too late to get in anywhere that year. So in 2009, we decided to look into this again and with a simple twist of fate, the Optimist Club of Greater Vienna gave us a spot. How did we decide on the name Guata Java? Well, bottom line is, Mimi won the argument. |

Our logo was designed by the brother of a friend. Larry got the inspiration to use the colors from our product itself. He used the blue from the Guatemalan flag and the brown from coffee. He also designed the font to represent the essence of the coffee—clean and crisp, with the “a” representing the coffee bean. We think he did a great job! |
