The region Antigua

The Antigua coffee region is distinguished by its rich volcanic soil, low humidity, abundant sunlight, and cool nights. Nestled in a valley, it is encircled by three volcanoes: Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango. Periodically, Fuego, one of Guatemala's three active volcanoes, imparts a new layer of mineral-rich ash to the soil in Antigua. The volcanic pumice present in the soil effectively retains moisture, mitigating the impact of Antigua's relatively low rainfall. In this region, dense shade serves a crucial role in shielding the coffee plants from occasional frost.

A few words about Felipe Contreras

Felipe Contreras is the owner of Finca Gascon in Guatemala. Felipe is a young producer, passionate about the process and the quality of his coffees, both in the cup and for the environment. He started producing coffee at the age of 22, in 2018. And, rare enough to be highlighted, he is the 1st generation of producers in his family. At Finca Gascon, Felipe has the freedom to innovate in the way he treats his coffees. In fact, it is by experimenting that he prefers to learn how to improve the quality of his coffees each year.

Recently, he teamed up with another young producer, Mauricio Evans, to produce a blend made from the produce of Santa Elena Barillas farmers, and to help them move towards regenerative agriculture.
