Beneficio (Copy)

The Bressani family (Gina and Georgio) gave us a tour of their beautiful beneficio (wet coffee mill).

Brix Meter (Copy)

They recently got a Brix Meter to test the sugar content of their different varieties of coffee.

Broca (Copy)

Broca is a small insect that damages coffee cherries. They have a strong research and integrated pest management program to try and eliminate this pest. You can tell by the years on the bags how well their program is working! Those are bags of broca collected each year, and each year it gets less and less.

Dairy (Copy)

San Jeronimo Miramar not only is a coffee farm, but they also are a dairy and make delicious cheeses. Don't their cows look happy? Look at that lush grass.

Grafting (Copy)

They have a strict grafting program where they graft different strains of coffees trees together to create strong and productive trees.

Bees and Honey (Copy)

Coffee trees need to have a good amount of pollinators to be productive and the Bressani's really care about the eco-system around the coffee. So they tend bees to help the coffee trees. A fun and sweet bi-product is their tasty honey.

Coffee Fields (Copy)

Nursery (Copy)

They are constantly researching and developing new types of coffee varieties to see improve their quality as well as replace old coffee trees. In order to do this they have a large nursery full of different varieties including experimental varietals.

Vermicompost (Copy)

They are in the process of growing their vermicomposting (worm composting) facility, and are hoping to create more and more compost to use on their trees for fertilizer. The cascara (the pulp) from the coffee cherries plus the manure from the cows make tasty food for the worms to turn into "black gold."

We have had the privilege of working with this wonderful family and their workers since 2013 while visiting their farm in Atitlan, Guatemala. With pristine facilities and their passion for sustainability and research, their farm is a site to see! Not only do they produce our delicious San Jeronimo coffee, but they are also a dairy farm that makes cheese sold throughout Guatemala. Take a peek through our photos and see just a taste of what this farm has to offer.

We also encourage you to buy a bag today and taste this coffee with notes of Black Tea, Dark Chocolate, and Caramel. You can also follow them on instagram. They often post great photos from their farm.

We work with great farms like Finca San Jeronimo Miramar in Atitlan, Guatemala. Check out how the coffee beans go from a plant to our roasting facility.
