OUR HISTORY
Finca Gascón is a newly founded farm in the small town of San Juan Gascón, Antigua Guatemala. The story began when Gildardo Contreras (Father) lad the opportunity to acquire a piece of land near Antigua in 2012, then realized that the land was ideal for growing coffee (1800-2050 masl).
The coffee was planted for the first time in 2014 with a Bourbon 300 variety, then in 2016, it planted two hectares of Geisha with the implementation of a drip irrigation system. The first Geisha tasting was 88.5 points.
Then, in 2019, Felipe (son) began to implement new systems and standards in coffee production, always with an eye on the market and on the trends that the specialty coffee scene was asking for. It was then that for the first time I had an Introduction to production processes and models.
