Don Mariano Perez started growing coffee with his wife, Eluvia Esperanza Perez, in 1940. Esperanza coffee comes straight from San Juan and El Libano’s farms in Acatenango, Guatemala. Don Mariano Perez instilled quality standards used by the farm today to ensure proper growing and harvesting techniques, with the ultimate goal “to bring you a quality cup of coffee.”
As you may have guessed, Esperanza Coffee is named after Eluvia Esperanza Perez. The mission of Esperanza Coffee is “to connect people through coffee.” All Esperanza beans are roasted locally thanks to partnerships with Midwest roasters. Esperanza works alongside Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co., established in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
