Artisanal Coffee Tour

Lead by small-holder coffee farmers in San Miguel Escobar, you will experience a day in the life of a farmer. We will share with our local family which has been producing coffee for over 50 years. The first generation actually was the grand father of the family whom introduce coffee to this specific community. The majority of inhabitantns used to cultivate Corn / Maiz and Beans, and worked for private coffee farm harvesting, having a extreamly low payment. The owner from the big farm that grand father was working, gave him a donation of plants to start his own coffee plantation, This is how coffee became 845 coffee plants, the family shared seeds with the neighbours, today 75% of the community are dedicated to coffee directly or indirectly.

We will get a Pickup Truck ride from Antigua to San Miguel Escobar, driving through the beautiful colonial city of Antigua and San Pedro las Huertas, where we will start our inmersion to the exquisit Coffee Universe accompanied by great views on our way. While assending to Volcán de Agua (Water Volcano), we will expirience the athmosphere of coffee fields to later meet the family at their home to discover the process that coffee beans have to go through so we can have a good cup of coffee. We will have the chance to use the artisanal machines. But the best part of all comes at the end when we get to roast coffee in the traditional way, over the fire, and share a fresh cup of coffee with the farmer's family.
