ABOUT THE COFFEE

Located in San Martín Jilotepeque, Chimaltenango, La Colina - The Hill - is named for the steep elevations of the area. Antonio is the third generation of his family to farm here, and began by planting grains and pulses. However, he told us that it has always been his dream to farm coffee, and in 1991, the first coffee tree was planted.

Slowly but surely, Antonio increased the number of trees and the production capacity of La Colina. Nine years ago, Antonio built his own processing facilities, and with his focus on quality rather than quantity, he has achieved excellent rankings in the Guatemala Cup of Excellence competition.

The coffee grows within a beautiful landscape of oak, cypress, and pine. The farm benefits from multiple streams, with fresh water for irrigation and processing. Only one quarter of his farm is planted with coffee, while the rest remains native forest, certified by the National Institution of Protection of Forests.

ABOUT The Barn

The Barn is Europe's leading coffee roastery, located in Berlin, which has been a Specialty Coffee Movement pioneer of the highest level since 2010. The coffee they supply and roast is served in many cafes and homes in at least 28 countries around the world.

The Barn's vision has been clear from the start - they focus on making their coffees from "better" to "best" - no compromises, just great coffee. They don't blend varieties so they can extract the specific flavor profiles that set each coffee farm apart in taste. This makes the farmers they work with proud and their product completely traceable.
