Las Camelias coffee comes from Huehuetenango, Guatemala, cultivated at 1790 meters above sea level by the Vides family, one of the most renowned coffee-growing families in the region. The farm covers 15 hectares and is part of a legacy that began in 1958 with the founding of Finca La Bolsa.

The Vides family maintains a holistic approach to quality, traceability, and ongoing team training. From harvesting to quality control in Guatemala City, each batch is carefully evaluated and classified to ensure consistency and excellence.

Natural Anaerobic Process

This batch, composed primarily of Caturra and Catuai grapes, undergoes a 36-hour anaerobic fermentation in sealed, waterless tanks after harvesting. Subsequently, the cherries are dried on raised African drying beds for 20 days, with regular turning and nighttime protection to ensure uniform and controlled drying.

The result is a structured and deep cup, where fermentation adds intensity without losing clarity.

In a cup, Las Camelias offers creamy milk chocolate, ripe plum and a vibrant hint of red currant, combining sweetness, fruit and a balanced acidity.
