What are the characteristics of the bourbon variety of the bourbon manor in Guatemala? Planting environment?

This manor is located in a very special area of Patzun in Chimaltenango province, which is located between the two major coffee producing areas of Acatenango and Atitlan, but its annual output is so scarce that it is not classified as an independent coffee producing area. Its unique geographical location and microclimate mainly come from steep slopes and deep valleys, and this is the only estate here that produces coffee, which has been operated by the Echeverria family since 1870. The first coffee planted in 1878 was Bourbon. All coffee is 100% bourbon, and most of the coffee trees in continuous production are over 70 years old, and some are even over 100 years old. Because seeds are collected from old bourbon trees, traditional varieties have been preserved. The estate was one of the first coffee plantations to be certified by OCIA Organic in Guatemala in 1966.

Coffee trees grow in the shade of natural trees, and fully ripe coffee fruits are picked only by hand, washed thoroughly, and then dried in the sun on the terrace.
