Descriptive associations, not ingredients: nothing is added to the coffee.: Honeydew, Kiwi, Red Apple Finca Santa Elisa Pachup is a remarkable coffee estate situated in the Acatenango region of Guatemala, near San Pedro Yepocapa. Nestled on the western slopes of the active Fuego and Acatenango volcanoes, this expansive farm covers 506 hectares, with 360 hectares dedicated to coffee cultivation. The estate plays a vital role in supporting the local community, providing income for many families in the area. After a period of low production, Finca Santa Elisa underwent significant refurbishment and embraced innovative management techniques, boosting its output dramatically. Today, the farm produces around 34,000 quintales of coffee cherry, carefully processed by Los Volcanes Coffee at the Beneficio La Esperanza mill in Antigua. Due to frequent ash deposits from Fuego volcano, meticulous washing is essential to ensure the quality of the cherries and protect the processing equipment. This coffee features the Marsellesa - Sarchimor variety, known for its unique character and complexity.
