Produced by all women farmers! With flavors like dark chocolate, brown sugar and plum this coffee from the Huehuetenango region is sure to please your palate! 

In Guatemala, gender equality remains a challenge, and coffee has long been a male-dominated industry. These factors have made it incredibly difficult for women to compete and thrive in the coffee world. That’s why we’re thrilled to offer La Morena as a platform to showcase the work of women farmers across Guatemala. This year’s La Morena microlot was produced by twenty-three female farmers from Huehuetenango.

Guatemala La Morena

It all started as a search for better coffee that turned into a hobby and then into a passion. In 2017, after years of home roasting and apprenticing at a roastery in East Haven, CT., Dennis and Jennie found the perfect space in Norwalk, CT. and purchased a Mill City 3KG roaster. They chose Norwalk as their home base because Dennis was born and raised here and because of the love and support they’ve seen for small businesses.

Our focus at Strigo Coffee is on forming direct trade relationships with farmers to find the world’s best single origin coffees and taking the time to learn the bean and roast it to perfection. We also love to play around with blends to create more complex flavor profiles. You can purchase our coffees as a single order or save money by subscribing and have it delivered straight to your home or office on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis. If you own a coffee shop/restaurant/cafe and would like to sell Strigo Coffee, we also offer wholesale accounts.

Here at Strigo, we drink coffee for all occasions but our favorite time for coffee is on adventures. Being out in nature and exploring the world with a great tasting cup of coffee in hand is what fuels us and makes our world go round. You also may have noticed that we really like owls. Their wild nature and nocturnal ways are just a couple of the reasons why we love them so. The word STRIGO translates to OWL in Esperanto.
