About the Farm

Finca Las Moritas is located in San Antonio La Paz in the department of El Progreso, Guatemala. The farm is owned and operated by Don Higinio Gomez and his wife, Doña Aura, who cultivate several coffee varieties across their high-elevation property.

Situated at approximately 1,850 meters above sea level, Las Moritas rests along one of Guatemala’s highest non-volcanic mountain ranges. The farm’s humid, forested microclimate and high elevation create conditions for slow cherry maturation, contributing to the sweetness, structure, and complexity of the coffees grown there.

About the Bean

This lot is composed of Bourbon, Castillo, Pacamara, and Pache varieties grown at approximately 1,850 meters above sea level. After harvest, the coffee is fully washed and patio-dried, creating a clean and structured expression of the farm’s high-elevation growing conditions.

The result is a rich and balanced coffee with a moderate-to-heavy body, lively acidity, and pronounced sweetness. Toffee and milk chocolate create a smooth, sweet foundation, while cranberry adds a bright fruit character and subtle tartness. The combination produces a structured and flavorful cup that showcases the distinctive character of Finca Las Moritas.
