Santa Felisa, a coffee estate in Guatemala, is located at a high altitude in the Akalantia volcanic area (Volcan Acatenango). Coffee cherries ripen slowly, with bright acidity and surprising sweetness, and have a full and balanced advantage, while St. Felicia has a rare green apple, peach, cream chocolate, clean floral aroma and delicate taste, never tired of drinking. St. Felicia Manor is also the designated bean for the 2012 World Baking and baristas Competition (World Roaster&Barista Cup).

It was not until 2007 that the Anna Coffee Association declared Akatiran to be the eighth coffee producing area in the country. The main varieties in the area are Bourbon, Carthai and Kaddura. Akatilan is located in its Chimaltenango province. More than 5, 000 hectares of coffee plantations have volcanic fertile soil. The coffee garden is mainly located in the valleys of the two major volcanic mountains, Volcan de Fuego and Akatilana. The latter is also the third peak of volcanoes in Central America. There are about 4,000 farmers in this area. The Mayans live here and maintain traditional farming methods. The history of coffee cultivation can be traced back to 1880. Saint Felicia has always had a good relationship with the aborigines. Some aborigines have lived in the manor for more than four generations, and the Mayans are responsible for the farming of the manor.

Anthony and his sister Anabella are really kind to the Mayans. Annabella is the only manor owner I have ever visited to introduce all the staff to me. "I am proud of these colleagues," she said. They worked in the wet treatment plant for three months in a row, and they had to deal with more than six varieties of eight post-processing methods, which was very complicated, but they handled it very well! "

To put it simply, Santa Felicia Manor creates the most possibility of showing different flavors between varieties and treatments.
