Guatemala - San Jose Ocaña

The Sanchez family has owned the Finca San José Ocaña for over 110 years. San Jose Ocaña has always been a sustainable agricultural operation, which started mainly as a forestry farm management. In time, it evolved to be a fine coffee producing farm, serving only the prime speciality coffee market. This is mainly a result of its high altitude, good clayish soils and varietals.

 The farm has their own wet mill on the premises, which allows them to control & maintain a high quality harvest. The beans at the farm are grown at 2,000 meters above sea level, increasing the density of the coffee cherry and allowing for lower yields and higher quality.

 Sanchez believes that every coffee bean that comes out of the family farm must have the best quality possible, but also that it is produced sustainably & ethically in-line with the mission statement of San José Ocaña Estate.
