Beans from heaven
['John Lehndorff']

A shout of “Hola!” rang out as a new customer walked into Chí Kapé’ on a recent Saturday morning.
“In one of the Mayan languages in Guatemala, ‘chí kapé’ — pronounced chee kah-pay — essentially means ‘coffee from above,’ as if it comes from heaven,” Divas says.
Good beans don’t hurt, either, but they were hard to come by when Divas first launched Chí Kapé’.
It was too expensive to have someone roast the beans for me.”Divas eventually found a women-owned Guatemalan coffee company, Chica Bean, to supply her beans.
“In reality, Chí Kapé’ is very small with only a few tables,” she says.
