Frontera - Mexico & Guatemala Blend
Notes of: Brown Spice, Dark Chocolate, Citrus
Origin: Mexico · Guatemala
Regions: Oaxaca, Mexico · Huehuetenango,
Guatemala Process: Washed
Produced with Care Across Two Origins, Roasted in California
This coffee brings together two distinct growing communities united by a shared commitment to quality and cooperative farming.
From the mountainous microclimates of Oaxaca, smallholder producers cultivate high-altitude Arabica at 1,200–1,500 meters — growing Typica, Bourbon, Caturra, and Sarchimor with washed, sun-dried processing.
From the Huehuetenango highlands of Guatemala, members of the ASDECAFE cooperative tend organic plots at 1,400–1,800 meters, harvesting Catuai, Bourbon, and Pache varieties with meticulous post-harvest care.
Together, these two origins form Frontera — a border blend that honors the overlooked coffee heritage running through Mesoamerica.
Both communities are organically certified, cooperative-organized, and rooted in indigenous agricultural traditions that predate the modern coffee trade.

Humble roots from our San Francisco apartment
Sonreír began our San Francisco apartment, selling freshly roasted coffee to freinds and family, fueled by a love for great coffee and a desire to share it. What started as home roasting quickly evolved into a deeper commitment—to sourcing with intention, supporting smallholder farmers, and perfecting every batch.
From those early roasts at home to our small-batch production in Berkeley, our mission remains the same—creating coffee that connects, inspires, and brings a little more joy to every cup.
Small Batch Coffee Fresh-Roasted
At Sonreír, we believe great coffee is a journey and embrace the spirit of continuous improvement. Always refining our roasting process to bring out the best in every bean.
We roast small batches on our 5kg Probat gas roaster in Berkeley, CA. This hands-on approach ensures every cup delivers the vibrant flavors and joyful experience we strive for.
