The story behind the cup
The producer
The Dalton family has been growing coffee at Finca Filadelfia since 1870, making them one of the most established and respected producers in Guatemala. Situated in the Antigua region, the farm is steeped in history and tradition, with generations of knowledge poured into every harvest. Their commitment to quality and innovation has helped shape Antigua’s global reputation for exceptional coffee.
The coffee
Finca Filadelfia sits at an altitude of 1,500 to 1,700 metres above sea level, nestled in the volcanic valleys of Antigua. The combination of rich volcanic soil, high elevation, and cool, consistent temperatures creates ideal growing conditions for high-quality Arabica. This lot is 100% Bourbon and fully washed, resulting in a clean, balanced cup with beautiful clarity.
Expect a smooth, well-structured coffee with tasting notes of red apple, toffee, and dark chocolate. Whether brewed as a filter or espresso, it’s a wonderfully composed and comforting cup - a true expression of Antigua terroir and the Dalton family’s long-standing expertise.
