Introduction to the manor

The Capetello estate has been run by the Pedro Echeverria family for generations, and now Mr Pedro Ashvania is in charge of the estate. The estate has a unique location and is located on the inside of the Antigua Valley in Guatemala, between the Akatnam fruit and the Agoa volcanic belt. Capetilo is an ancient manor that used to grow short-term crops such as sugar, but coffee has been grown since decades ago. the machines used to grind sugar are now used to remove the peel and flesh of coffee fruits, and so far they have been using water as the main source of electricity.

The vertical integration of the coffee estate is arranged on its own, from growing coffee seeds to packaging and arranging coffee exports. the latest generation of sorting machines and electronic picking machines have been installed to ensure the continuous production of stable and high-quality coffee.

Capetello Manor is one of the oldest estates in Guatemala (140 years), the coffee garden is right next to the volcano, so it enjoys fertile volcanic soil. This 2017 ERGOS selection is sunburn bourbon, with rich citrus fruit tea richness, intense fruit fermentation, hazelnut chocolate in the finish and its super sweet feel make this coffee more balanced and smooth.
