Guatemala, Filadelfia

FARM: Finca Filadelfia REGION: Antigua ALTITUDE : 1500 - 1700 MASL VARIETAL : Bourbon, Caturra PROCESS : Washed

This washed lot comes from Guatemala’s Antigua region and is produced by Coffee Bird, a family-owned, female-led company founded by Marta Dalton. With coffee roots dating back to 1864, Marta continues her family’s legacy by working directly with producers to streamline production and support quality and innovation.

Cherries are selectively harvested by Brix level, then carefully fermented, washed, and dried, resulting in a clean, vibrant cup. The story traces back to the late 1800s, when Guatemala’s cochineal trade declined due to industrialisation in Europe. In 1870, Alexandra’s ancestor secured land in Antigua and shifted to coffee, later travelling to London to sell his first crop.

As an early pioneer, he became known as the ‘grandfather of coffee’ in Guatemala, laying the foundation for generations to follow.

Hundred House Coffee's Guatemala Filadelfia hails from Antigua, where Coffee Bird cultivates Bourbon and Caturra at 1500–1700 meters. This washed lot exemplifies the clarity and brightness characteristic of wet-processed coffees from Guatemala's volcanic terroir. The roaster emphasizes clean, vibrant characteristics—a profile that often highlights the inherent sweetness and structured acidity these varietals and elevation can provide. Antigua's volcanic soils and cool mountain conditions create an ideal environment for developing complex, balanced coffees with defined character.
