Harvesting Volcanic Coffee

From the producers of Great Big Story, watch this stunning video of one of our favorite origin partners, Timoteo Minas in Guatemala. 

Timoteo Minas grows coffee in the shadow of an active volcano in Guatemala. Volcán de Fuego has been erupting more frequently in recent years, but Timoteo is not stressed at all. In fact, there’s no place he’d rather be. Both the high altitude—his farm sits 6,300 feet above sea level—and the nutrient-rich volcanic soil are good for his plants and give his coffee a special taste.
