Producer information:

Finca Gascón is a recently established farm located in San Juan Gascón, Antigua Guatemala, at an altitude of 1800–2050 m above sea level. Its history began in 2012, when Gildardo Contreras acquired the land and discovered its great potential for coffee cultivation.

The first Bourbon 300 vineyard was planted in 2014, and two years later, two hectares of Geisha were added, along with a drip irrigation system. The first tasting of Geisha wine achieved a score of 88.5 points, marking the beginning of its reputation for quality.

In 2019, Felipe Contreras, Gildardo's son, took on a key role modernizing production processes and aligning the farm with specialty coffee trends, integrating innovation, sustainability and a focus on excellence.

We were fortunate enough to learn firsthand about their innovative processes and their commitment to environmentally conscious and responsible agriculture. During our visit to their biofactory, we were able to appreciate the research and development work they carry out to continuously improve coffee quality and promote sustainable practices.
