From the roaster

Finca Filadelfia is one of the oldest and most influential coffee farms in Antigua, Guatemala, originally established by the Dalton family, renowned producers with generations of coffee-growing expertise. Now managed by the 5th and 6th generations, the farm spans over 214 hectares dedicated to high-quality coffee production.

Antigua is one of Guatemala’s most celebrated coffee regions, with roots tracing back to 1864 when Manuel Matheu first planted coffee at Filadelfia before introducing Guatemalan coffee to the London market. His work helped shape the region into a global benchmark for specialty coffee.

Surrounded by the volcanoes Agua, Acatenango, and Fuego, Antigua’s rich volcanic soil and stable climate create ideal growing conditions. Shade-grown under grevillea trees, coffees from this region develop slowly, resulting in balanced, complex cup profiles.
