ABOUT THE FARM

Finca Santa Clara has been producing exceptional coffee in the Antigua Valley of Guatemala since 1930. Today, fourth-generation producer Ricardo Zelaya continues the family's commitment to quality, building on decades of experience that earned the estate the prestigious Cup of Excellence in 2001. Coffee grows between 1,650 and 1,700 metres above sea level on the slopes of Volcán de Agua, where fertile volcanic soils and a cool mountain climate provide ideal conditions for exceptional Arabica coffee. Around a quarter of the estate is preserved as native forest, protecting biodiversity, natural water sources and the healthy ecosystem that supports both the farm and its coffee.

ABOUT THE PROCESS

Ricardo prepares this lot using a traditional washed process, chosen to highlight the clarity and balance of the coffee. After harvest, the cherries are pulped before undergoing fermentation to remove the remaining fruit. The beans are then carefully washed and transferred to African drying beds inside purpose-built greenhouses, where they dry slowly over approximately 21 days. This measured approach allows moisture to leave the coffee evenly, preserving sweetness, enhancing clarity and contributing to the smooth, structured profile found in the cup.

ROASTER'S OPINION

Introducing Atlas: our new Core Coffee. From its birthplace in Ethiopia, coffee journeyed to the volcanic highlands of Central America, where generations of producers shaped one of the most celebrated coffee-growing regions. Atlas is our expression of that legacy. Grown at Finca Santa Clara in Antigua, Guatemala, this single origin coffee offers remarkable sweetness, clarity and balance. Rich volcanic soils, cool mountain air, and generations of expertise create a cup that feels complete. Atlas is our tribute to Central American flavour: a specialty coffee shaped by exploration, craftsmanship, and place.
