18.75 EUR

Finca La Hermosa is a distinguished coffee farm located in the Acatenango Valley of Guatemala. It was founded in 2011, when two young lawyers Max Pérez and Claudia Abril decided to leave the courtroom behind and follow a calling rooted in the land, family, and faith. What started as a dream in the highlands of Acatenango has grown into a farm known for producing some of Guatemala’s most expressive and traceable coffees. Located between 1,800 and 2,000 meters above sea level on the fertile slopes of the Acatenango volcano, Finca La Hermosa thrives in one of Guatemala’s most privileged coffee-growing regions. This terroir is defined by volcanic soils, constant cool temperatures, abundant fog, and strong Pacific mountain breezes—a unique microclimate that slows down cherry maturation and enhances sweetness, acidity, and aromatic complexity. On this land, are cultivated both traditional and exotic varieties—including Caturra, Bourbon, Typica, Pache, Pacamara, as well as Gesha, Sydra, Wush Wush, Chiroso, Laurina, and others. Each variety is grown under organic practices and carefully processed on-site to ensure full traceability and quality control. The farm’s commitment to excellence has been recognized more than 13 times by the Cup of Excellence. Certified by USDA Organic, Rainforest Alliance, and a proud member of the Women in Coffee Alliance, Finca La Hermosa is more than a farm—it is a family-led project rooted in faith, sustainability, and excellence. A wild and expressive interpretation of a legendary variety, Natural Gesha from La Hermosa showcases the full spectrum of the variety’s elegance amplified by the depth and vibrancy that only the natural process can reveal. Carefully dried with the full cherry intact, this profile bursts with tropical fruit, red berries, florals, and layers of honey and wine-like complexity—all wrapped in a silky, structured body. In the cool, misty microclimate of Acatenango, the slow natural drying enhances sweetness and complexity without overpowering the delicate floral essence that defines Gesha. It’s a cup that feels both bold and refined, with a long, vibrant finish and expressive aromatics. The Gesha Natural processed under the natural method.
