El Gigante Coffee
In 1994, visionary farmer Osvaldo Suchini ascended the slopes of Cerro El Gigante in Chiquimula, Guatemala, and recognized its potential to cultivate exceptional coffee. Over the past three decades, alongside his family, he transformed this landscape into El Gigante Coffee Estate—a sanctuary where tradition meets innovation.
Our Core Values
Excellence
Quality is our cornerstone. We meticulously select and cultivate the finest coffee varieties, handpicking each cherry to ensure a cup that embodies our dedication to perfection.
Caring & Integrity
Sustainability
With over 40 hectares of preserved native forest, sustainability is a living principle at El Gigante. Our coffee is grown under shade trees, promoting biodiversity and soil health.
We also take bold steps in environmental innovation: our natural anaerobic process reduces water usage by over 90%, saving more than 800,000 liters per harvest — a breakthrough in sustainable coffee production.
Hardworking & passion
Our people are our pride. We actively integrate local women into our workforce, empowering them and fostering economic growth within our community. Today, 80% of our collaborators are women.
Every member of the El Gigante team infuses love and care into their work, ensuring that each bean reflects our collective commitment to legacy, land, and excellence.
Through Grupo Zuba Corp, our international trading arm, El Gigante Coffee now reaches the world’s most refined palates — including collaborations with Michelin-starred chefs and elite specialty roasters across Europe, and the Middle East.
