Recently acquired and planted entirely to arabica varieties, the farm is small in scale but guided by decades of experience: owner Stuardo Coto applies the same careful agronomy, shade management, and soil stewardship that define his flagship estate, Finca El Platanillo. The result is a tiny, focused canvas where long-honed practices meet a new landscape. Antigua itself is one of Guatemala’s most important and historic coffee regions, officially recognized among the country’s eight denomination-style growing areas. Here, coffee grows in a high-altitude valley ringed by three volcanoes—Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango—whose mineral-rich, pumice-laced soils, sunny days, cool nights, and low humidity create a textbook microclimate for dense, sweet, and structured coffees. Antigua coffees are celebrated for their balance: chocolate and confectionary sweetness, a clean, lively acidity, and subtle spice tones that reflect the volcanic landscape. Just below the farms, the city of Antigua runs on a different kind of energy. Once the seat of Spanish power in Central America, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site of cobblestone streets, baroque church facades, and earthquake-softened ruins set against a backdrop of smoking volcanoes. Cafés, markets, and courtyard restaurants fill restored 16th- and 17th-century buildings. The rumble of the surrounding volcanoes can be felt and heard throughout the town and on clear evenings you can watch Fuego send a ribbon of ash into the sky while the city glows below. El Pesadero is part of this landscape, rooted in Antigua’s long coffee heritage, but very much a living, evolving project in the hands of a producer who has spent his career refining what great Guatemalan coffee can be. Collapsible content Varietal Bourbon is one of the most widely known and oldest varietals of Arabica. The varietal was introduced to and named after the island of Bourbon (now known as Reunion Island) by French missionaries from Yemen in the early 1700s. It spread through Africa and the Americas in the mid 1800s. Many varietals today have a lineage tied to the Bourbon varietal. Bourbon is known to have great cup quality but has medium-low volume per-plant production and is susceptible to all of the major coffee
