About this coffee

In the village of Pueblo Nuevo Viñas, in the Region of Santa Rosa, Guatemala, between the Tecuamburro and Pacaya volcanoes is located mountain of La Gavia, where the coffee farm Amatillo is situated and where this Micro Lot of 5 x 24kg sacks is from.

The founder Roberto Díaz Marroquin, a coffee lover, focuses on producing top quality speciality coffee. During these years, he managed, prepared, planted, harvested and processed each one of the yearly crops of the farm to satisfy the international markets. We are planting coffee varieties such as Bourbon and Catuaí, with native trees grown to shade the coffee plant to give an excellent taste and aroma. The combination of these elements, plus the quantity of rain, soil type and particularly the altitude of the plantation, makes our coffee unique. Strict supervision during the harvesting season has become very important, as the coffee bean must be perfectly ripe. The de-pulping and drying in the sun during the wet milling are also highly managed to maintain the quality of each coffee bean. We are proud that each year we have improved the quality and have been internationally recognised to what today is our registered brand. We have participated in the Cup of Excellence and have been among the finalists for several years. This success shows that our coffee has been considered one of Guatemala ́s best.
