5 - La Fortuna - Guatemala 2026 (Exotic Washed)

The coffee production started with La Reforma Farm, acquired by Mr. Manuel Pérez in 1904, which was used to produce tobacco, corn, and beans.

Later his son Leonardo continued with the same crops, it was not until 1939 that Leonardo the second, began with the coffee production.  Leonardo the second, started working incredibly young; he, his brothers and cousins cut the coffee and processed it manually. He said that when the coffee was ready, they placed it on mules and they walked for 6 days from Agua Dulce, Cuilco to Huehuetenango. When he returned he was so happy because he had sold the coffee and could ride the mules back to the farm. Leonardo the third continued working on the farm and started with different varieties like geisha and pacamara

In 2010 Leonardo the third bought another piece of land and called it La Fortuna. La Fortuna had traditional varieties; Leonardo saw the opportunity to planted geisha and now it has become one of the best coffees in Guatemala
