Price not usable
Every price we hold for this coffee works out far outside the believable per kilo range for its own market, or repeats unchanged across different bag sizes, so we will not put a figure to it.
What kava.family says about this coffee
It’s like running into an old friend you haven’t seen in years — the conversation picks up right where you left it, warm and easy, but then they mention they’ve been living in Guatemala and suddenly the whole evening takes an unexpected, delicious turn.
Finca La Bolsa is an estate in La Libertad, Huehuetenango, known for consistent quality; its coffee has won multiple cupping awards and has also been a star at various barista competitions.
The farm was purchased in 1956 by Dr. Jorge Vides Molina; it was given the name "La Bolsa" because it is located between two mountains, and it is bisected by two rivers that cross the property, creating a kind of island where the mill, farmhouse, school, and drying patios are.
Huehuetenango is located in Western Guatemala bordering Mexico. It is extremely diverse and known for producing some of the best coffees in Latin America due to its climate, altitude, water sources, and traditional varieties. A range of offerings come out of Huehuetenango, including chocolatey volume offerings and fruit-forward microlots.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
How it sits among coffee from Guatemala
kava.family describe this coffee as fruity, caramel and sweet, nutty. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Guatemala; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Guatemala, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

A further 3 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
