- Info.
Finca Concepción is a family-run farm in Mataquescuintla, Jalapa, managed by Vanessa Braun Valle. Once a cattle farm, it now spans 123 hectares and focuses on specialty coffee production through sustainable practices like shade management and water recycling. The farm has been in Vanessa’s family for more than a century.
This lot is a washed field blend of Gesha and Pacamara, harvested at peak ripeness, fermented for 36 hours, then soaked and patio-dried over 15 days. It’s a bright, fruit-forward cup with a clean finish, reflecting both innovation and care at origin.
When I visited Guatemala earlier this year, I was blown away by the quality of the microlots I tasted - high acidity, great flavour intensity, and clean, sweet profiles. Vanessa’s coffee is exactly that.
