The Story of Finca La Bolsa
In 1958, Dr. Jorge Vides founded Finca La Bolsa in La Libertad, Huehuetenango. While serving as a full-time physician and later as Director of the National Hospital of Huehuetenango, Dr. Vides cultivated Bourbon and Caturra varieties on the forested land as a passion project.
His commitment to health and community extended far beyond coffee: in 1980, he established an on-farm school that continues to educate local children today under Ministry of Education authorization. Recognized by Anacafé as a "Distinguished Coffee Grower," Dr. Vides laid a legacy of humanitarian care and agricultural excellence that defines the Vides 58 family farms today.

2024 crop being sold . Buyer beware. Dang expensive beans for a two year removed crop.
Don’t forget a minute think the display pictures are just still being used. Expensive seasoning beans and a lesson. Fool me once , shame on you.
Hi Roy, thank you for your feedback, and I'm sorry for the confusion with your order. A newer team member mislabeled your bags, and that's on us. We take getting things right seriously, which is why I reached out to you personally as soon as I heard.
For anyone reading, we're proud of the quality of our coffee. You can see our recent independent scores from Coffee Review here: https://www.coffeereview.com/?post_type=review&s=indaba+coffee&locations=all
Roy, my door is always open if there's anything more we can do to make this right. I hope you enjoy the coffee.

I have been roasting with Guatemala Vides 58 for about 6 months and pairing it with Kenya, Kona and Java coffees to create some very nice* blends for espresso and moka pot brews.
The beans roast consistently on a fluid air roaster producing a great body, caramel notes and a hint of citrus.
