Guatemala [Saint Emerald Lisa Manor]

Guatemala, Santa Felisa Estate

Santa Felisa, a well-known coffee estate in Guatemala, was founded in 1904 and is now taken over by fourth-generation family members Anabella and Antonio. The manor is located in the Acatenango Valley, a Mayan aboriginal area, where the Mayan aborigines still work.

From 1560 to 1800 meters above sea level, the microclimate and fertile volcanic soil make the coffee garden contain unique nutrients, and also let the coffee beans mature slowly, perfectly absorbing more natural nutrients brought by the volcanic soil. Saint Lisa Manor implements a friendly ecological farming method, combines agricultural science with ancestral knowledge, and respects local ecology and indigenous peoples.

Leaf rust in Central America was rampant in 2012, and a whole batch of coffee trees in the surrounding estates died. However, the coffee trees under the organic care of St. Philippa were able to withstand the disease, and the outbreak of leaf rust in 2013 was so severe that they had to be sprayed. Almost none of the Central American organic estates were spared, and St. Philippa's estate had no choice but to lose its organic certification.

St. Philippe's Manor currently does leaf rust control three times a year, uses organic matter twice, and one of them has to use chemicals, except that everything is still the same as the original organic certified manor.

There is no organic certification, but still adhere to the ecological way of growing coffee farmers for a long time.

There is no fair trade certification, but insist on respecting and taking care of all coffee workers and families in the manor, and be kind to the aborigines for generations.

Soguang Coffee and Santa Felisa have the same consciousness and concept, standing on the beautiful road of protecting the environment, respecting front-end coffee workers and having high-quality coffee.
