Welcome to the Velasquez Family Coffee Website.

Velasquez Family Coffee was started by Guillermo and Cathy Velasquez to sell the high quality coffee grown by our family and friends in the mountains of Honduras. This ensures them a livable income and supports their effort to protect and enhance the precious cloud forest ecosystem where they farm. Velasquez Family Coffee has been featured in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, The Twin Cities Daily Planet, and in The Brief, a publication of the University of Minnesota. We were honored to be one of 14 finalists in the Neighborhood Development Center's 2012 Annual Awards banquet

2016 Holiday Flavors

And the winners are...

Bonfire: Sweet, creamy icing swirled in spicy cinnamon and fresh bread...an amazing aroma wafting from your cup...very reminiscent of grandma's Hot Fresh Buns...perfect for chilly nights (and mornings) to warm you up!

Chocolate Hazelnut Cream: Rich Honduran beans combined with sharp dark chocolate and rich nutty taste of gourmet hazelnut. This special brew is a perfect holiday treat.

Confused Santa: Is it March? Is it December? We asked Santa for his favorite coffee flavor when he comes down the chimney...and my, Santa is confused! He wanted a delicious Irish Cream coffee, with an extra (large) splash of rum and a dash(er) of hazelnut...topped with whipped cream and nutmeg. What Santa wants, Santa gets.

Drunken Uncle: Yes, we have one too….and it’s delicious! Picture yourself around the fireplace basking in the soothing tastes of Kahlua and Irish Cream laced with Gran Marnier.

English Toffee: A tad of caramel, a touch of chocolate, a spot of cream, very British, very buttery, very good.

All five of these flavors will be available in the coming 2-3 months in 8 oz packages, whole bean and ground and in limited quantities of decaf for $7.50. (Our regular flavors continue to be available during this time as well.)

Take a Virtual Tour of the Coffee Farm

This summer we received the most amazing gift!! Ashwin Atre (aatre55@gmail.com) and Olivia Sparkuhl just spent some time on the coffee farm in Rio Negro with Avilio and Bertilia (they are driving from California to South America!). They created this AMAZING video for us. So incredibly beautiful. So thrilled to be able to share it.
