Finca Vizcaya is situated 1310-1980 meters above sea level in the town of Mataquescuintla, Jalapa, Guatemala. Francisco Quezada and his family have owned the farm since the 1980s when his grandfather purchased the farm for its high altitude and ideal microclimate for producing specialty coffee. The family focuses on sustainable farming that cares for the environment. They keep bees and maintain a 35 hectare forestland on the farm that provides habitat for local fauna. Coffee pulp from processing is used to produce organic fertiliser.

Ripe coffee cherries are picked by skilled labourers and sent to the on-site wet mill for processing. The cherries are soaked in water for approximately 24 hours before being pulped, which adds fruitiness and complexity to the coffee. Once pulped, the coffee is soaked for a further 12 hours to help break down the sticky mucilage. The parchment coffee is finally washed in clean water and laid out to dry for approximately 12 days, where it’s raked frequently to ensure even drying.

The culmination of meticulous farming and processing make this coffee clean, sweet and delicious.

Coffee is exempt from GST.
