History of Café Typica La Hermosa

Our microlot comes from Finca La Hermosa, which is located in Aldea Los Planes, Acetenango, in the Chimalte-nango region, at an altitude between 1980 and 2280 m above sea level.

This 180-hectare farm produces coffees of several botanical varieties, including typica (50% of production). It benefits, for its water supply, from three sources, as well as the river " Rio des Carmen" , and rich volcanic soils since it is located not far from the Fuego volcano.
