Arcatel Nanguo belongs to Chimaltenango province, Antigua to the east and Atitlan to the west. The coffee planting area surrounds the Arcatel Nanguo Valley (Acatenango Valley), with an average altitude of 1300-2300, and is surrounded by two volcanoes, such as Volcan Acatenango and Volcan de Fuego. It can be seen that the whole coffee planting area has volcanic fertile soil.

Saint Felicia is located at an altitude of 500-1920m, with an annual precipitation of 1200-1500mm and an average temperature of 17.7-22.7C. Suitable micro-climatic conditions contribute to the slow ripening of coffee and absorb enough nutrients.

Santa Felisa's pursuit of coffee quality is also reflected in varieties, post-processing procedures for coffee and cherries, as well as concern for the entire planting environment and humanities. In the environment, avoid the use of man-made chemical pesticides, repeated afforestation to protect natural watersheds, pruning, weeding and removal of fruit residues after harvest to avoid pests and diseases. And in the way of organic fertilizer, planting coffee trees and shading trees at the same time, which is very helpful to the protection of the soil.

More than 30 coffee varieties have been tested on the estate, and currently grown are Red Tibica, Red bourbon, Red Patch (Red Pache), Geisha, Red Kaddura, Red Pakamara and Huang Kadui. And continuous innovation and improvement in post-processing procedures to feedback market demand, so far the manor uses more than seven kinds of raw bean treatment, and the most popular ones in the market are water washing, Kenyan K72 water washing (double soaking), orange honey treatment (Orange Honey), and tanning.
