There are several natural springs on the farm that provide adequate and high-quality irrigation for coffee plantations during the dry season, and they are also the power source for coffee processing plants (water for water treatment).

The New Oriental District is the newest of the major coffee producing areas in Guatemala. In ancient times, it was a volcanic area, where the soil was made up of metamorphic rocks, so it was rich in minerals. The New Oriental District used to be the poorest area in Guatemala before it began to grow coffee. Since the 1950s, farmers in the mountains have started growing coffee on the natural, nutritious land here. Gradually, it has become a rising star in the Guatemalan coffee industry.

"Guayabo" is the transliteration of Spanish, which actually means "the plain of guava". The name is mainly because guava is really rich here. The estate is about a five-hour drive from the capital of Guatemala and is an impressively dry area. The owner of the manor is Mr. Benjamin Donado, who is in his sixties. The old man began to grow coffee in 1990, and the planting area has expanded from 28 hectares to 72 hectares now.

It doesn't sound special, but it's actually not as easy as it says, because the whole Guayabo coffee farm is built on a steep slope, with a minimum elevation of 1400 meters, and then rugged all the way up to more than 1600 meters. Because it's so steep, everyone thinks it's impossible to grow coffee under such conditions, but Mr. Donaldo has extraordinary physical fitness and great enthusiasm for coffee. Successfully planted a remarkable amount of good coffee.

Last year, a small amount of washed SL28 was produced in the guava plain, but this year, in cooperation with traders, new batches of sun-dried wine with unique flavor have been added. When cooperating with traders in this series, we have also communicated on the spot about the harvest standards and sun treatment methods (such as turning and drying days). From the results, it can be said to be a very happy harvest. In particular, SL28 is still a rare variety in Central America at present.
