Finca Los Arroyos, founded by Don Felipe Martinez, thrives through generations. With humble beginnings on a small plot, Don Felipe and his sons (Sergio, Elder, Jose) expanded the farm by acquiring more land. Starting with 30 coffee bags, they now yield 6-8 containers per harvest. Exclusive to coffee cultivation, Los Arroyos stands as a testament to their dedication and growth in the coffee industry.

History of Guatemalan Coffee:

Although coffee was brought over from the Caribbean in the mid-18th century by Jesuit priests, it was used primarily as an ornamental plant and garden crop for 100 years in Guatemala. Coffee wasn’t widely traded, however, until commercial production began in the 1850s. The volcanic soil and various micro-climates proved ideal for growing coffee in Guatemala. Coffee, within a generation, became the country’s most important crop. In 1860, Guatemala exported 140,000 pounds of coffee, and just 25 years later, the country was exporting over 40 million pounds. Large numbers of coffee farmers were German immigrants responsible for many inventions and innovations related to coffee milling. Most of Guatemala’s coffee was exported to Germany until the First World War, when exports shifted to the United States.
