La Florencia Farm, which won the Guatemala Cup of Excellence for two consecutive years in 2008 and 2009, is located 40km east of the capital, Guatemala City. It is a historic coffee farm that has been cultivating coffee for six generations since it was established in the early 19th century. The Bourbon variety that was planted when the farm first opened has been passed down to this day, and all of the 40 farm employees were born and raised on the farm and love Florencia Farm.
Finca Florencia is 20 miles to the east of Guatemala City in the region of Santa Elena Barillas located in the highlands of Lake Amatitlan. Its elevation ranges from 4,500 ft. to 5,000 ft. Annual precipitation ranges from 1,800 and 1,500 cc. Temperature is mild all year long; warmer days and cooler nights, average temperatures range from 30° and 10° C. Finca Florencia has been in the coffee business for six generations and the first coffee plant was planted in the early 1800s, an Arabicao Bourbón variety. The coffee plantation is about 245 acres in extension; half is planted with Bourbóns and the other half with Caturras. The Bourbóns are in the farm since the beginning but have been renovated with new varieties of Bourbóns like Tekisik and B-300.
The farm produces an average of 10 bags of export coffee per acre. Finca Florencia greatest assets are to remain producing the best coffee with the first varieties planted by our ancestors. Another differentiation factor is that our farm workers were born in the farm and still part of our working force for four generations.
