A few kilometers away from Guatemala city there are the awe-inspiring volcanoes of the Central American Volcanic Arc among which there is the Pacaya’s peak, a 2,550 mt. active volcano.
Coffee is grown here at a 1,500 – 1,600 mt. altitude immersed in acres of lush forests and often under the shade of tall trees.
In this ideal location coffee grows and reaches perfect ripening; it is then hand-picked with painstaking care.
These coffees – the finest Bourbon, Catuai and Caturra varieties – are harvested at high altitudes in the lands among San Marcos, Quetzaltenango and Huehuetenango, which have been the most productive states in Central America up to some years ago.
