Guatemala Atitlan Finca Santa Victoria - 31732 - Ecotact Bags - SPOT RCWHSE

Sourcing Details Lake Atitlan is likely one of the most iconic landmarks in Guatemala.

If you take your eye off the shimmering beauty of the lake for a moment, you may notice the coffee plants growing on the surrounding mountains.

Santa Victoria, an 1850 acre estate, has been part of that mountain landscape since the 1940s.

While the majesty of the estate is impressive, we have been equally impressed with the results of recent renovations, which include planting new groves of Bourbon and Caturra equipped with an irrigation system that allows for precise delivery of fertilizer critical to plant health and ultimately the quality of the cup profile. Processing Details Santa Victoria is owned by San Miguel Coffee, a fully integrated Guatemalan coffee company. In addition to implementing the renovations that have taken Santa Victoria to a new level, San Miguel also has all of the tools to manage the entire post harvest details. Cherries meticulously selected based on ripeness are transported to the San Miguel mill where they are sorted, depulped, fermented for 40 hours, washed and mechanically dried. San Miguel also evaluates cup quality in their own lab and prepares the coffee for export to the international market.
