Kafetos

kafetos is a family-owned operation founded in 2019, growing arabica coffee on their farm in the highlands of guatemala at elevations above 4,000 feet. the farm produces 100% arabica, primarily bourbon and typica varieties, processed using a two-way washed method they describe as environmentally sustainable. shade-grown cultivation is standard practice across the farm. kafetos handles its own importing and ships green coffee from a warehouse in orlando, florida, which allows them to sell directly to us-based roasters without a third-party importer in the chain. the company sells both green and roasted coffee at wholesale and retail volumes, and their website indicates they can supply any quantity, including full container loads. their 2026 crop was listed as available as of early 2025. flavor descriptors cited include roasted chocolate and caramelized notes, positioned toward medium-dark roast profiles. the operation is small, with 2 to 10 employees. they present their model as direct trade, meaning buyers deal with the farming family rather than a distributor. kafetos serves home roasters, commercial roasters, and retailers.
