Finca Gascòn
Antigua, Guatemala
passionate about the process
Felipe Contreras is the owner of finca Gascon. He is a young producer, passionate about the process and the quality of his coffees, both in the cup and for the environment. He started producing coffee at the age of 22, in 2018. And he is the 1st generation of producers in his family! His coffee trees are so healthy because he has adopted an agroforestry model.
a cutting-edge agroforestry model
How was it born?
In 2023 his production was entirely organic, grown without inputs or fertilisers thanks to the natural compost he harvests on the farm. To carry out this anaerobic process, Felipe left the cherries to ferment for 96 hours, before drying them for 20 to 25 days.
