Introduction of ► producing area

Located in the Las Minas Mountains in eastern Guatemala, there is a unique mountain spring inside the estate, which also makes it possible to irrigate coffee beans with abundant water throughout the year. It can also be washed to get better quality. Not only that, Biya Manor also pays great attention to environmental protection, setting up solar energy drying facilities inside, improving the soil power by natural composting, and recycling water so that the more valuable water resources can be reused.

In addition, Guatemala used to use mixed varieties of coffee beans for processing in the past, but the outstanding performance of a single variety of coffee has led to this batch when the output has been stable in recent years.
