NEW BEGINNINGS IN AMERICA

After coming to the United States, Silvia played sports and received her education in America. In her 20s she gave birth to her daughter and started her first company while raising her. She and her daughter struggled, living in the projects and on welfare for a while, but VIA always had big dreams.

Her journey from difficult beginnings to creating a meaningful business reflects our core values of perseverance and purpose. Read our mission statement to understand what drives us beyond coffee.

PROFESSIONAL GROWTH

In 2014, she created VIASWORLD, V.G.C.'s sister company. VIA has become an established artist and fashion designer. She has been published and has participated in Art Basel. She has designed art for boutique hotels and restaurants in the US.

OUR UNIQUE TOUCH

Each bag is packaged with a Mayan Worry Doll. According to legend, Guatemalan children tell their worries to the Worry Dolls, placing them under their pillows when they go to bed at night. By morning the dolls have gifted them with the wisdom and knowledge to eliminate their worries. The worry doll represents the princess and her wisdom.

Explore our coffee collection and experience the rich flavors that reflect VIA's journey and Guatemala's exceptional coffee heritage.
