Guatemala Santa Ana

We’ve known Raúl Rodas, the 2012 World Barista Champion, for years. What stands out about Raúl isn’t the title — it’s the way he approaches coffee at the source. His company, Paradigma, is not just an exporter. It’s a partner to producers and a reliable bridge for roasters like us, looking for intentional, well-designed Guatemalan coffees.

Raúl works directly with small and mid-scale farms across Guatemala. Because we know how he operates, we trust that every lot has been shaped with purpose:

• On-farm evaluation of varieties, climate, and infrastructure
• Clear processing guidance tailored to each producer
• Strong focus on clean, repeatable naturals and honeys
• Consistent quality control through Paradigma’s cupping lab
