With its beautiful Spanish architecture and colonial churches dating back to the 1700s, walking the streets of Antigua feels much like stepping into a time warm. Within walking distance of the town’s square is a group of four family farms that have been upholding the coffee growing traction for almost as long as Antigua has stood. The main farm is a fascinating example of traditional Guatemala growing techniques. The farm is more of a dense coffee forest, with unusually old highly productive trees. The success of this technique defies the logic of many modern coffee farms and fascinates farmers and coffee buyers alike.
