Aanacafé (Asociación Nacional del Café) was established in 1960 as a national coffee association, representing all coffee producers in Guatemala and has also been breeding various coffee varieties.
Coffee has helped fuel Guatemala’s economy for over a hundred years. Today, an estimated 125,000 coffee producers drive Guatemala’s coffee industry and coffee remains one of Guatemala’s principal export products, accounting for 40% of all agricultural export revenue.Los Humitos, is located in the village of Los Humitos, municipality of Amatitlán Guatemala in the department of Guatemala, 36 km from Guatemala City, on the slopes of the mountains on the Amatitlán lake and Pacaya volcano. The farm is owned by the sons of its first owner Dr. Rodolfo Castillo.
The farm size is 28 hectares and its production is estimated annually between 500 to 650 quintals (50-60kkg) of coffee parchment. It has different varieties of coffee: Bourbon, Caturra, Catuaí and Anacafé 14. Its land is volcanic and stony, making it a fertile soil, totally ideal for the cultivation of high quality coffee.
