Guatemala – Cubulco

GUATEMALA CUBULCO

Five farms primarily contributed to this coffee: Las Anonas, Las Naranjas, La Esperanza, Grano de Oro and Finca las Piedras. Finca Las Naranjas is owned by Don Ruben Ajualip Gonzalez. He inherited the 2.45-hectare farm from his father and over the last 12 years has significantly elevated his coffee’s production and quality. Don Pascual Teletor owns Finca las Anonas. Don Pascual lived in the United States for a time but dreamed of returning to his hometown of Cubulco and purchasing land for producing coffee. He now farms an 8.4-hectare plot, 1.45 hectares of which are planted with coffee.

Located in central Guatemala, Cubulco is situated near the Sierra de las Minas and Sierra de Chuacus mountain ranges. The area’s coffee producers are smallholders who use traditional agricultural practices and operate their own wet mills.
