Guatemala Antigua - Finca La Folie

Fresh out of the roaster: Guatemala Antigua - Finca La Folie. Available Whole Bean at caffe d'bolla right now.


Finca La Folie is a small 91 acre farm in Antigua owned by Penny Matheu. It's at a high elevation of 5200 feet, which lends to the natural sweetness in the coffee. The farm is managed by Don Julio Valencia, who lives on the farm and whose plantings are organized in a classic Antigua fashion.

In the cup it's green apple fading into red apple and ripe cherry sweetness with a touch of black tea. Light brown sugar and toffee essence. A perfect example of a top drawer Antigua coffee.
