ESPRESSO DE ESPERANZA, S.A.

Aroma and Flavor that Seduces


Our Story
We are a group of youth entrepreneurs in Antigua Guatemala who made our dream into reality. In 2002 we received a Junior Achievement course called Business Fundamentals. This course piqued our interest in entrepreneurship and influenced the track that we were to pursue in high school which was Business Administration. To have our own company and to administer it, were what we wanted to obtain.

Four years later, we had the opportunity to establish a business. We had several options: a bakery, a restaurant, a shoe store, and a coffee business. We decided on selling coffee since we had access to a high-quality resource, according to world-wide standards. Diligently working towards the fulfillment of our goal, we made it happen. In October 2006, we became a legally registered and incorporated joint-stock company with a sanitary license. In September 2007, we obtained the license to sell our roasted and ground coffee nationally and internationally so that we can deliver to you the Aroma and Flavor that Seduces. We have achieved all of this through much effort and dedication.
