Glitch in the Matrix
You look around, and you notice something is wrong. Coffee this good, AND organic? Must be a Glitch in the Matrix, alright.
Grown under guava, plantain, and banana trees in Guatemala’s Huehuetenango region, La Asociación Sostenible de Cafe de Guatemala (ASDECAFE) proudly produces a bean committed to sustainability, environmental protection, equitable distribution among its workers, and of course, the best coffee quality imaginable available internationally. With more than 1,000 active members today, ASDECAFE was founded in 2103 by only six farmers and continues to grow while becoming certified organic.
Cupping Notes: Honeyed sweetness with bright, orange citrus acidity and pleasant notes of pear.

SHIPPING DATES
WHEN ORDERS GET SHIPPED
Orders get shipped out every Wednesday. Orders from Monday to Sunday are made and packaged on Monday and Tuesday, then shipped Wednesday. Other days are added if an over abundance of orders occurs.
WHY SHIP LIKE THIS
There's a number of practical reasons. The company has a workforce of one person, consolidating orders saves hours every week. Time is also needed to make the teas, coffee, and soaps (A tea typically has to "sit" for about 2 days before it can be packaged). We also need to frequently do inventory to reorder supplies and ingredients. When we were doing daily orders, many orders were frequently delayed by up to a week because of this, so the once a week method saw little change for many people.
