Introduction to ◎:

The highest elevation farm in Antigua is one of the carefully cultivated farms owned and cultivated by the Mr.Pedro Echeverria family with a long history of more than a hundred years. Since we started using it in 2003-04, the owner of Haya Coffee also visited the farm in 2006 and found that the nearby volcano is still erupting several times a day, and the local soil is covered with about 25 centimeters of fertile volcanic ash. In order to protect coffee trees and soil and water conservation, GRAVILEA and CHALUM shade trees were planted. The temperature difference between day and night is about 15 degrees Celsius, which is about 20 degrees Celsius. Thanks to this natural environment and soil, coupled with the few equipment and farming expertise of farmers in the Central District of Antigua, traditional farming methods and concepts are adhered to, thus giving birth to delicious coffee with a very bright, elegant and excellent sense of balance.

In the process of washing and refining, the part of the water treatment is to capture the groundwater, and the part of the drying treatment is 100% natural sun drying on the 8th day. After completion, the beans will be placed in the warehouse for about one to two months, and then the shell will be removed. After using the specific gravity sorting machine, we will also use the electronic sorting machine to screen out foreign bodies and particles of different specific gravity. Next, put the raw beans on the conveyor belt and carefully select them by hand. The screening process is very rigorous. After observing the project, it can be said that the mixing of defective beans and foreign bodies is close to 0%.

Through our long-term cooperation with the farm, we have obtained the Bourbon varieties recommended by the farmers in the fifth area with an elevation of more than 1900 meters. The geographical conditions of this area are the best in the farm. This is the amazing result of the farmers' long-term use of GPS to manage the farm.

Mr.Petro, the landowner, worked so hard that we chose this Guatemalan coffee bean.
