Gobena Guatemalan Ground Coffee 5 lb — Organic Fair Trade 100% Arabica, Medium Roast, Small-Batch Fresh

Gobena Coffee 5lb is a Fair Trade, USDA Organic Guatemalan medium-roast ground coffee made from 100% Arabica beans, roasted in small batches and packed the same day to preserve freshness.

This five-pound bag delivers specialty-quality Guatemalan coffee in a bulk format designed for busy households, offices, or small cafés. Sourced from the Asobagri cooperative of family farms in Guatemala, this medium roast blends a full body with subtle sweet notes. It arrives in a foil-lined bag that locks in aroma and flavor, and every purchase supports orphan care and prevention programs.

What makes this Gobena Coffee different from other bulk coffees?

Gobena focuses on certified sourcing and careful roasting. The beans are USDA Organic and Fair Trade USA certified, then roasted on a Joper small-batch roaster to promote even development without hotspots. The product is ground and packed the same day, helping retain volatile aromatics that often fade in large-quantity offerings.

• USDA Organic certification through Ecocert SA
• Fair Trade USA certified—sourced from Asobagri cooperative
• Small-batch Joper roasting for consistent flavor
• Foil-lined bag to preserve freshness after roasting and grinding

How does the flavor profile suit daily coffee routines?

This medium roast delivers a balanced cup: a satisfying body with light sweet undertones rather than heavy bitterness. It works well as a straight brewed coffee and adapts nicely to milk-based drinks, offering reliable flavor across drip, pour-over, and automatic brewers.

• Medium roast: smooth and approachable for any time of day
• Full body with gentle sweetness—good for black coffee or lattes
• Ground form provides convenience for standard home/office brewers
• Sourced from single-country Guatemalan beans for consistent character

Is this product responsibly sourced and how does it support communities?

Yes. The beans come from a cooperative of small family farms (Asobagri) and carry Fair Trade certification to ensure equitable pay and community benefits. Gobena also directs 100% of profits from this coffee to orphan care and orphan care prevention initiatives, combining ethical sourcing with charitable impact.

• Fair Trade USA ensures better terms for farmers
• Sourcing through Asobagri supports smallholder families in Guatemala
• All profits fund orphan care and prevention programs globally
• Organic certification confirms no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers

How should I store and use this 5 lb bag to keep coffee fresh?

The foil-lined bag helps preserve freshness, but proper storage after opening matters. Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dark place and transfer to an airtight container for daily use. Because it’s ground, aim to use the coffee within a few weeks for the best aroma and flavor.

• Reseal foil bag tightly after each use or transfer to an airtight container
• Store away from heat, light, and moisture to retain oils and aroma
• Use within 2–4 weeks after opening for optimal taste
• Ground format is ideal for drip machines, single-serve brewers, and manual brewers with similar grind needs

Who is this for? This Gobena 5 lb bag is aimed at coffee lovers who want responsibly sourced, organic Guatemalan coffee in a bulk format—ideal for families, small offices, cafés, and anyone who brews multiple pots per day. It suits people who value traceable sourcing (Asobagri cooperative), ethical certifications (USDA Organic and Fair Trade), and a roast profile that balances body and gentle sweetness. If you need a ready-to-brew ground coffee that supports community programs and arrives freshly roasted and packed, this product is a practical choice.
