Calling all coffee lovers — this one's for you. The Antigua Guatemala Coffee Tour at Finca Gascón takes you deep into one of Central America's most exciting specialty coffee projects, where innovation meets tradition on the volcanic slopes of San Juan Gascón. From the rainforest-covered fields to the cupping lab, you'll experience coffee the way true aficionados do — and taste four distinct coffees at the source.

What Makes Finca Gascón So Special

Just a short ride from Antigua's center, Finca Gascón sits at 1,800–2,050 meters above sea level on rich volcanic soil — one of the most prized coffee-growing altitudes in the world. The farm is led by Felipe Contreras, a young, visionary producer pushing the boundaries of Guatemalan specialty coffee with experimental processes and disruptive techniques. His coffee can now be found in roasters around the globe, and his Geisha lots have scored above 88.5 points on the specialty scale — placing them firmly in elite territory.

A Complete Bean-to-Cup Experience

This isn't a quick photo tour. It's a full, immersive deep dive into how world-class coffee is born:

🌱 The Coffee Process

Walk the fields, see the trees, and follow the bean through every stage of processing. You'll learn about washed, natural, and honey methods — and why Finca Gascón has become a reference point for innovation in Guatemala.

🛏️ African Raised Drying Beds

Get up close to the African raised beds — a signature of specialty coffee processing that allows uniform airflow, slow drying, and precise control over cup quality.

🔥 The Roasting Area

Step into the roastery, smell the magic, and learn how green beans transform into the cup you know and love. Your guide breaks down roast profiles, development times, and how tiny adjustments shape final flavor.

🧪 The Cupping Lab

This is where it gets serious. The professional cupping lab is where the world's best coffees are evaluated — and you'll learn to taste like a Q grader.

☕ Tasting of 4 Different Coffees

The grand finale: a guided tasting of four distinct coffees, each with its own story, varietal, and processing method. You'll discover flavor notes you didn't know existed in a coffee bean — fruity, floral, chocolatey, bright, and complex.
