Café Imports is pleased to present several microlots from the members of the Antigua Coffee Producers Association, purchased and processed through the Bella Vista micromill in Guatemala.
Finca La Cruz is a farm owned by Olga Riedel, a farmer-member of the Antigua Coffee Producers Association.
Antigua Guatemala is a valley surrounded by three volcanoes: Agua, Fuego, and Acatenago. The Fuego Volcano is still active, and every once in a while it erupts, adding a fresh dusting of mineral rich ash to Antigua soil. This ash helps to retain the soil moisture, and contributes to the coffee development.
The Buena Vista micromill is managed by Luis Pedro Zelaya Aguirre and Luis Pedro Zelaya Zamora. Their quality standards to produce coffee are high, and they are focused not only on producing specialty coffee, but also to contribute positively to the environment.
