Coffee Awakening is part of Finca La Labor, locat-
ed in Zona 18 at an altitude of 1,500 m.a.s.l.. It is the
last coffee farm in the city and Zona 18 is the biggest
zone in whole Guatemala. Finca La Labor is owned by
Francisco Quezada Montenegro. His family owns the
farm for more than 80 years! For ‘Chespi’, as his friends
are calling him, the sustainability of his farms is very
important. He invests a big amount of his income in
rehabilitation and renovation in order to keep the coffee
trees and the whole ecosystem of the farms alive. Finca
La Labor is one of his heart projects—due to its unique
position, he decided to save this last city coffee farm by
changing the biggest amount of the production to spe-
cialty coffee. Post harvesting facilities: Pinalense
Eco-System , Cement fermentation tanks with tile inner
layer, 1 drum dryer (Guardiola’s) and concrete patios.
Their system is based on using as less water as possible.
During Harvest, they use around 10 cubic meters of
water a day.
