Everything you want to know
This exquisite Fine Robusta coffee is cultivated in the renowned Finca Onà, located in the San Marcos region of Guatemala, at an altitude ranging from 835 to 1280 meters above sea level.
Finca Onà is one of the oldest coffee plantations in Guatemala; its name "Oná" derives from the native language and means "refuge of the bees." The primary goal of the owners of this estate has always been to improve the lives of the community members. Within the cooperative, a nursery and an elementary and middle school have been established, demonstrating a tangible commitment to educating the children of the producers. In 2002, it was one of the first cooperatives to obtain Rain Forest Alliance (RFA) certification thanks to its environmental conservation practices.
"Mujeres en Cafe" Project: This robusta coffee is part of the "Mujeres en Cafe" project, born from the energy and determination of a group of courageous and hardworking women coffee producers in Guatemala. The project aims to fully leverage the potential of their coffee and ensure a sustainable income for their families, marking a significant step forward in an industry traditionally dominated by men.
The favorable climatic conditions in which this coffee is born contribute to its excellence. Finca Onà benefits from an optimal altitude and a territory that imparts unique characteristics to the coffee. The mature cherries are carefully selected and subjected to the washed processing method. This Fine Robusta coffee offers a rich range of flavors reminiscent of dried fruit, almond, honey, and chocolate. The taste is sweet and balanced, with a full and harmonious body. The creaminess persists, and the aftertaste leaves a pleasant note of chocolate
