Founder at Coffee Blossom Honey
📍 Bellingham, Washington, United States

Edwin Martinez is the third-generation CEO of Onyx Coffee, connecting Guatemalan coffee producers directly with global roasters. His expertise is in direct trade, seed-to-cup consulting, and developing sustainable relationships to ensure quality. He is a certified Q Grader, bringing a formal understanding of coffee quality to his familys deep agricultural roots.

Growing up on his grandfathers coffee farm in Huehuetenango, Guatemala, Edwin developed a profound appreciation for the crop from a young age. This connection to his heritage remains a core part of his identity and business philosophy. In his spare time, he enjoys the simple, grounding task of washing dishes.

His coffee journey began in 1995, not on a farm, but by borrowing money to run an espresso cart in Bellingham, WA, serving coffee he humorously admits was "pretty terrible. "
