Light-Medium Roast

Jauja (pronounced “how-ha”) is located in the San Cristobal el Bajo aldea centrally located in the municipality of Antigua. Antigua is surrounded by 3 volcanoes, Volcan de Agua, Volcan de Acatenango, and Volcan de Fuego (which is still active) can all be seen from the farm. Old bourbon cultivars are grown under partial shade from grevillea and avocado trees. The rich volcanic soil, warm days and cool nights and high winds give Antigua a unique microclimate that has been highly sought after for many years.  

The fully washed coffees are fermented in water for 24 to 36 hours, pending weather conditions. After fermentation, the coffee is dried for 6 to 9 days on concrete patios. Each day-lot is cupped by the Coto Quality Control team and separated by cup profile. 

Antigua Guatemala has a long history and was the first region to grow coffee as an ornamental plant in Jesuit convents before becoming a livelihood. The beautiful farm of Jauja is one of the oldest coffee farms in Guatemala.  

Jauja is a family jewel that has been kept through generations. Panorama’s production team led by Stuardo Coto is now working together with the land owner to produce and revive the finca for many generations to come, while yielding an excellent cup result.
