La Joya is small and steep farm located on the slopes of Acatenango Volcano, facing the City of Antigua.

It was made 15 years ago and is mostly planted with Bourbon, Pache and Caturra. Starting at a high altitude, between 5,500 ft and reaching 6,200 ft above sea level, the coffee it produces is characterized by a rich balance of acidity and aroma with a chocolate after taste. 

It is also surrounded by a lush virgin forest that attracts many birds and other animals. The shade is Gravilea, mixed with native trees that provide an excellent protection from the sun and wind.

It produces between 250 and 400 bags of 69 Kg of premium Antigua coffee. The soil if very loose, sandy course, dark and rich. The combination of sunlight, rainfall and soil makes this coffee very unique and special.
