Guatemala San Carlos - Antigua - Washed

We Taste - Peach, Nutella, juicy-jammy

Antigua charms with cobble stone streets leading to volcanic vistas, and the coffee isn't too bad either. Grown on an estate passed down through multiple generations, the Durán family keeps their traditions alive on San Carlos, a 16 hectare farm on the outskirts of the old city. Anna Maria and Estela Duran preserve their 100+ year old Bourbon variety coffee trees by harvesting once every other year. By skipping a year, they lean into the coffee trees' natural cycle, extending their productive lifespan.
