These coffee producers not only produce specialty coffee but also oxygen

The family’s focus has always been on always having the same quality of coffee year after year, which is why the traceability within the farm is very important from planting or pruning within our coffee plantation until the time of harvest when they select the coffee with most accurate Brix degrees and this gives them greater certainty when it comes to quality. 

Francisco Adolfo Quezada Montenegro’s family has been dedicated to coffee production for more than 100 years. They are currently in the fifth generation of specialty coffee production. The varieties at the farm are: Bourbons, Geshas, Pacamara and Paches communes 

 

What’s make this coffee special? The farm is located in the heart of the city of Guatemala. These coffee producers not only produce specialty coffee but also oxygen for Guatemalan capital city, in the middle of 50,000 houses in the area with a population of more than 200,000 people. 


This coffee is a special coffee that is harvested manually, in the best way possible to ensure a good fermentation for 3 days. Then it goes to drying at cold temperatures for more than 16 days so that you can enjoy a delicious coffee with exotic and different tones.
