Details

Cocoa, dried fruit, and mandarin. Sweet, balanced, and beautifully expressive.

Isabella is a single-origin Guatemalan specialty coffee from Antigua, produced by Raúl and his daughter Isabella at Finca Santa Inés, a family coffee farm located just minutes from Antigua's historic center.

Coffee has been grown at Finca Santa Inés since the early 1900s. Today, Raúl and Isabella are carrying that tradition forward while focusing on quality, sustainable farming, and the future of coffee production in Antigua.

This particular lot was selected from among the farm's coffees for its exceptional sweetness and balance.

What makes Isabella coffee special?

Isabella represents both the history and the future of Finca Santa Inés.

For generations, the family has grown traditional Guatemalan coffee varieties under shade in Antigua. The farm's coffee trees grow at approximately 1,500 meters, where Antigua's distinctive growing conditions help produce sweet, balanced, and complex coffees.

This lot was carefully selected for its cup quality before being fully washed and slowly sun-dried to preserve its sweetness and clarity.

The result is an elegant expression of genuine Antigua coffee and the generations of knowledge behind it.

What does Isabella coffee taste like?

Isabella is a sweet and balanced Guatemalan coffee with notes of cocoa, dried fruit, and mandarin.

Rich cocoa provides depth and sweetness, while dried fruit adds complexity and mandarin brings a gentle citrus brightness to the cup.

It's an approachable yet expressive coffee for those who enjoy chocolate-forward flavors balanced by fruit and citrus.

Who are Raúl and Isabella?

Raúl and his daughter Isabella manage Finca Santa Inés, continuing a coffee-growing tradition on the farm that dates back to the early 1900s.

While honoring the knowledge and traditions passed down through generations, Isabella represents a new generation focused on innovation, quality, and the future of Guatemalan coffee.

We named this coffee Isabella in recognition of that next generation and its commitment to carrying Antigua's coffee tradition forward.

Is Isabella shade-grown coffee?

Yes. Coffee at Finca Santa Inés is 100% shade-grown, and the family works to produce coffee while caring for the farm's environment and natural resources.

Shade-grown production creates an ecosystem in which coffee grows beneath a canopy of trees rather than in full sun, forming an important part of the farm's approach to responsible coffee production.
