Coffee story

Diego De La Cerda, the owner of Sokro Manor, nicknamed Silver Fox, claims to produce the best coffee in the world. His award record is long and astonishing, two COE championships and one COTY award!

Diego De La Cerda operates two estates in Guatemala: El Socorro and Guayaba. El Socorro Manor is located in Palencia City, Guatemala Province, 50 kilometers from Guatemala City. In 1980, Juan de la Cerda Colom, the owner of the estate, began to grow coffee. He and his son, Juan Diego, are now in charge of production and are the fourth generation of the family. Sokro's pursuit of quality, from planting, harvesting to post-processing, attaches great importance to every detail.

The beans that Sokro won the CEO championship in Guatemala twice are Maracaturra, a hybrid of Caturra and Maragogype. The beans are almost as big as beans and have the same special flavor as Rosa and Pacamara. A few years ago, Sokro expanded the estate and began to grow other beans, including Pacamara. In addition to these two large beans, Sokro also planted Bourbon, Caturra and Typica.

However, to enable the manor to produce high-quality coffee, it does not rely on special varieties, but on careful investment in planting and treatment. For example, in general, high-altitude manors are washed with readily available natural mountain spring water, but freshly harvested fresh coffee cherries ferment for a long time under the treatment of cold spring water. The Sokro planting area is about 1700 meters above sea level and the washing plant is 1400 meters above sea level. to improve this problem, the manor uses heated water to treat raw coffee beans, thus shortening the fermentation time (36-40 hours) and retaining stronger fruity and floral aromas. this is a unique technology developed by Sokro. During the drying process, a little rain will ruin the whole process, and the raw beans with shells will be covered at night. The drying time is about 12-16 days.

Certified by the Rainforest Alliance, the manor attaches great importance to ecological protection, with a total area of 700 hectares, but most (55%) are nature reserves and the largest conservation area nearby, attracting many wild animals and migratory birds. the most tree species in the conservation area are pine and oak, and wild animals and birds are carefully investigated and recorded. Only 25% (about 126 hectares) of the estate is used for coffee cultivation, while the other 40% is used for other activities, growing corn, vegetables and herding dairy cattle.
