Finca Isnul, is located in the northwest side of Guatemala, in La Democracia, Huehuetenango. It’s a high altitude farm, its elevation ranges are from 1443 to 1900 mts above sea level. Annual precipitation ranges are 1,500 mm.
Anzueto family, current owners of the farm, bought Isnul 40 years ago. Today, we feel proud being the second generation of coffee growers in our family, producing an extraordinary strictly hard bean coffee and protecting a wonderful forest in Los Cuchumatanes Mountain.
The coffee plantation is about 157.5 has in extension, 70% catuai, 20% caturra and 10% pacamara. The farm produced an average of 2,927 - 69 kgs bags.
The coffee is processed in the wet mill at the farm; then, beans are sun dried during one day in the patios and after, one or two days in the drier machines at 55º C.
At the farm we are really concerned about environment, for than reason we have 10 has. of natural forest, and we processed the water used in the mill.
