The Importer: Onyx
Onyx Coffee Importers has been a foundational part of Makeworth's coffee menu. While we are always on the search for incredible coffees, there is something even more important about creating relationships beyond just the transaction of obtaining a certain lot of coffee. Onyx is the perfect combination of these two values for us.
Started by Edwin Martinez, a multi generational coffee producer himself, the mission was to connect roasters with guatemalan coffee growers in meaningful ways-- and Onyx might be the master of it! We've been fortunate to forge truly unique and genuine relationships with producers we purchase from through Onyx. On top of the direct connections to our coffee, the whole team from Onyx is one-of-a-kind. Through thick and thin, Onyx has been a core reason we get to do what we do as a roasting company. Cant say enough good things about them!
The Producer: The Villatoro Family
On a personal level, the Villatoro family has been and continues to be an inspiration for our coffee menu. From a tasting/quality vantage, their coffees year over year are some of our (and yours!) favorites. After getting the opportunity to visit and meet in person, we knew immediately that this would be a source we hope to work with forever. The Villatoro family is a farming family that has continued to work their farm in the remote western highlands of Huehuetenango, in a small high valley called Hoja Blanca. Since the early 2000s onward, the Villatoro family has regularly won awards in national and international competitions for their spectacular coffees, including third place in the COE just last year. And there's good reason for it: The entire family, from Aurelio's father-in-law Petronilo Martinez to his three children and their cousins, are single-minded in their pursuit of the absolute best coffees of Guatemala. We are proud to bring many of their offerings to your cup!
