Origin Roasted Series Teco Echeverria
This month’s coffee
Florencia
Recently we travelled to Guatemala City to meet Teco Echeverria. He is a roaster/owner of Teco Coffehouse and a National Barista Champion.
Here we feature Teco’s collaboration with Finca Florencia to deliver a cup that is as approachable as it is distinctive.
Producer Gerardo Flores crafts a smooth, easy-drinking coffee with layers of dark chocolate and toasted hazelnuts, grounded in the richness of its terrain. A comforting, balanced profile that highlights both place and tradition.

Meet your roaster at origin
We are honored to feature José Miguel “Teco” Echeverría in this series.
Teco is known for elevating Guatemalan coffee through close collaboration with producers and his dedication to building a vibrant domestic coffee culture. His roasting style highlights clarity, vibrancy, and regional character, bringing out a fresh spectrum of flavors beyond Guatemala’s traditional chocolate-forward profile.
Founder of Teco Coffee House in Guatemala City, Teco began his career at just 16 and trained at Finca El Injerto, the reknowned producer which he calls his “university” of coffee. He is a two-time Guatemala National Barista Champion (2014, 2024) and international competitor.
Coffee designed for equity
We do things a little bit differently in the modern coffee trade. In fact, we don’t trade at all. We partner directly with producers and roasters to craft coffee in small batches - all from origin.
Roasting at origin means you get coffees that are uniquely reflective of each region. Producers and roasters working together to express their craft, varietals, and time-honored growing traditions.
It also means more what you pay stays in coffee producing countries versus typical coffee models that focus on trading green coffee.
