Hacienda Bella Carmona is a 4th generation Antigua farm owned and managed by Luis Pedro Zelaya. The 100-hectare farm sits between Vulcan de Agua and Vulcan de Fuego where a canopy of Grenville trees shades the Bourbon and Caturra coffee shrubs growing underfoot. The entire farm is managed using sound environmental and sustainable practices. Our partner and friend Luis Pedro Zelaya and his team are considered one of the most renowned producers, agronomists, and processors in Antigua. The Zelaya’s coffees are processed at Beneficio Bella Vista located near Antigua within the department of Sacatepéque, Guatemala. This coffee is fully washed and dried indoors with solar dryers to provide protection from the rain and allow for constant monitoring of humidity and temperature.
