Bosques De San Francisco Guatemalan Coffee

Varietals: Bourbon & Caturra

Process: Washed

In 1864 - my great-great-great, grandfather, Manuel Matheu Ariza pioneered coffee farming in Antigua, Guatemala with his nephew. Like most farms in Guatemala, Finca Filadelfia originally harvested cochineal. In 1864 the farm transitioned to coffee amidst a country wide recession. Manuel Matheu (my great great great grandfather) initially borrowed the land, where he planted some coffee in 1864.

After his first harvest, he went to London to sell his crop. After returning from London where he achieved great success, he was commissioned by the President of Guatemala to show small farmers how to grow coffee.
