The Dalton family honours its coffee growing heritage by continuing to operate their farm in Antigua and by exporting high quality Guatemalan coffee around the world from neighbouring farmers. Their own farm, Finca Filadelfia is currently being operated by 5th and 6th generations.
This Finca was the first coffee farm in Antigua, born out of a devastating recession facing farms across the country. Manuel Matheu initially borrowed the land in 1864 to plant some coffee. After his first harvest, he went to London and achieved great success selling his first crop. His great great great granddaughters are continuing his story by way of women owned import company Coffee Bird.
The farm only grows Bourbon, Caturra, and Pacamara. and do some experimental lots. They have only just had their second harvest of the Pacamara. The Bourbon & Caturra grow together on the same lots and are picked together.
An incredibly impressive production and must see for anyone travelling in the area, Finca Filadelfia produces consistently high quality with this years crop offering flavour notes of raisin, citrus and caramel sweetness with a persistent finish. Delicious!
