Guatemala Antigua Coffee - Panchoy Valley

The weather and the conditions are perfect in the Valley of Panchoy (Antigua) for harvesting the ripe cherries at finca Bella Vista and BELLA CARMONA, both belonging to the third generation of the Zelaya family. The cool temperatures at night and the warm sunlight create a perfect microclimate to produce fine coffee. The first pickings started in mid January, Red cherries are delivered to the farm’s own beneficio for wet processing and drying. The loads of cherries start to arrive at mid-morning, throughout late into the evening.

The harvested coffee is promptly wet processed, fermented in the concrete tanks, washed and set on the patios for drying. Once the coffee is dry, reaching an ideal moisture content, it is bagged and stored on ventilated warehouses to “rest” for 45 to 60 days before we see our first deliveries of this special coffee.

Our Guatemala coffee beans are slow roasted and each bag is dated (roast on dating) to guarantee freshness. All coffee beans come in air tight silver foil bag with one way valves to preserve the great taste. You can choose the desired grind and roast for your coffee. Taste the difference !
