Finca El Cerro is situated 1650-1700 meters above sea level in the town of San Miguel Dueñas, Antigua, Guatemala. Francisco Quiñonez inherited the farm from his parents and hopes to pass it on to his eldest son, who is studying agronomy. Francisco practices permaculture, which is a farming method that focuses on soil health. Despite the region’s dry climate, Francisco is able to grow fruit and vegetables for the family’s consumption, as well as local tree species like guachipilin and graviela, which provide shade for the coffee trees.

This coffee is 100% Bourbon varietal, which is renowned for its high quality flavour profile. The Bourbon cherries are selectively handpicked and floated in water to remove any under or over-ripe fruit. The resultant ripe, red cherries are pulped and fermented in tiled fermentation tanks for 36 hours. Following fermentation, the parchment coffee is washed in clean water, and laid on raised drying beds. The drying coffee is raked frequently to ensure even drying.

This coffee is luxuriously bright, rich and sweet with lots of character.

Coffee is exempt from GST.
