Born and raised in the heart of Guatemala, Wendy Vasquez carries a deep connection to the land and its people. Her passion for coffee began in the highland farms where generations of families have tended the soil with pride and care.

Guided by that heritage, Wendy founded Vakunaj Guatemalan Coffee to share the richness of her country’s coffee culture with the world — a vision rooted in authenticity, sustainability, and respect for the hands that make every harvest possible.

Under Wendy’s leadership, Vakunaj has grown from a local endeavor into a trusted source of premium Guatemalan coffee for retailers, cafes, and restaurants across the globe. She believes that every bean tells a story — of tradition, resilience, and excellence — and she is dedicated to ensuring that story is told with integrity from farm to cup. Through Vakunaj, Wendy continues to champion the artistry of Guatemalan coffee, building bridges between the growers she admires and the coffee lovers she inspires
