Guatemala Finca Terrazas

Finca Terrazas sits under the Finca La Bolsa group managed by Vides Farms. This 132 hectare farm is home to an impressive array of varieties and centre for progressive processing techniques in the region.
Dr. Jorge Vides was born in Huehuetenango in 1917. In 1958 he bought a piece of land named La Bolsa, located in La Libertad, Huehuetenango. He began to grow coffee until the entire farm was cultivated with Bourbon and Caturra varietals. In the beginning, he traveled on horseback to get to the farm. He loved this land and was anxious to work the farm by cultivating, harvesting, and producing high-quality coffee.
Since 1995, the farm has been run by his daughter, Maria Elena Vides, and his grandson, Renardo Ovalle. The coffee is often grown between 1,550 and 1,700 meters above sea level, and the varietals include Bourbon and Caturra in the two original farms. This coffee was grown at Finca Terrazas, the third and newest farm managed by the Molina family. For natural processed coffees they will meticulously select the ripest cherries and dry for 17-21 days on raised beds.
