GUATEMALA EL LLANO - FILTER

Finca El Llano is yet another small addition to the Perez coffee family. Located just 10 kilometers away from Finca La Soledad in the Acatenango region this ten hectare piece of land is nothing but lush and wonder.

For the last few years, the oldest son Raul has been overlooking and renovating the farm. He has been experimenting with new varieties that are more resistant and more productive maintaining the high quality cup profile.

Raul’s goal is to create a boutique farm that can set an example for other local producers and help to develop the Acatenango region.

We are appreciative to be able to observe and learn from Raul’s experience. We are excited to share his future coffee experiments.

Raul is known for thinking outside of the box when it comes to coffee. He constantly explores new ideas and conducts research that focuses on achieving balance and sustainability not only economical but also environmental and social.

For the last year Raul has been focusing and investigating regenerative farming that aims to increase the productivity, maximize quality potential and eliminate synthetic fertilizers dependence as well as heal and balance the natural biology of the soil.
