Guatemala is known for its excellent coffee, and a tour of a Coffee Farm & Coffee Museum is a fun way to taste what’s brewing in this
Central American coffee hotspot.
Finca La Azotea is open from Monday to Friday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Saturday until 2 pm and closed on Sunday. It is located in Jocotenango, Sacatepequez.
Here’s the La Azotea way of doing things:
At La Azotea we plant only the highest quality Arabica variety of coffee, under a dense, bio-diversified canopy of shade trees. Our organic pest control system coupled with advanced composting used for fertilizer make Azotea en environmentally friendly plantation.
At harvest time our workers hand pick only the ripe
red beans. These are carefully wet milled, sun dried and dry milled. Finally the processed beans are hand selected to assure quality and uniformity.
Carefully controlled roasting is done directly on the farm, eliminating any risk of degrading during transport. The roasted coffee is hand packaged, still hot, in bags with one-way valve that allows degassing and preserving of the coffee in inert carbon dioxide gas. This prevents deterioration and retains every bit of the flavor of the original coffee for you to enjoy.
