Evelim, a second-generation coffee farmer, resides with her husband and daughter in the charming small town of Petatan, where they manage their farm, Q'jna. Inheriting the farm from her parents, Evelim has carried on their legacy and cultivated her passion for coffee growing from a very young age. Upholding traditional practices, Evelim and her husband work hand in hand, overseeing the farm's operations and the meticulous processing of their coffee.

The name of the farm, Q'jna, holds deep cultural significance as it derives from the Popti Mayan language and translates to "old house." Interestingly, the elderly residents of the village have referred to this area by the farm's name for many years, though the origin behind this title remains a mystery. Guatemala's introduction to coffee cultivation can be attributed to European missionaries during the 18th century. By the mid-19th century, coffee had become a prominent and economically vital crop, propelling the country towards growth and development.

Evelim's dedication to her craft and her adherence to traditional coffee growing methods are emblematic of Guatemala's strong coffee heritage. Through her efforts, she not only perpetuates her family's legacy but also plays a notable role in sustaining Guatemala's reputation as a top coffee producer. With each cup of Q'jna coffee, enthusiasts can truly experience the passion, history, and exceptional flavors that have made Guatemalan coffee a beloved choice among specialty coffee consumers.
