Finca Nueva Armenia is the epitome of picturesque, bird-friendly, and biodiverse farming. We’ve worked with the owners––twin brothers Jorge and Javier Recinos––for over 15 years, making this partnership one of our longest. This year we isolated several top-tier lots including a Kenyan variety selection. We’re delighted to offer this contemporary twist on a Counter Culture classic exclusively to subscribers. Expect a cup brimming with the milk chocolate and vanilla sweetness typical of Guatemalan coffee complemented by an invigorating cherry acidity.

This year's Finca Nueva Armenia comes from several unique sections of the farm including: Gemelos, La Roca, and Kenia. The Gemelos parcel of the farm is planted with a mix of Bourbon, Typica, and Caturra. The word gemelos means “twins,” and while it might be interpreted as a tribute to (twin) brothers Jorge and Javier, the name actually refers to the unusual arrangement of coffee trees on this part of the farm: two coffee seedlings - instead of the customary one - grow from each single tree hole in the soil, i.e. “twins” that sprouted and began pushing out of the soil toward the sun on the same day. Jorge and Javier's father Antonio planted Gemelos based on the advice of an agronomist, and it's the only part of the farm to feature this unusual agricultural method. The section known as La Roca, The Rock, is remarkable for the presence of a red-hued rock formation and very coarse, rocky soils where mostly Bourbon coffee trees seem to be thriving. Finally, the very small amount of coffee produced on their Kenia parcel comes from the famous Kenya variety, SL28. All of this coffee is produced at elevations ranging from 1,250 to 1,350 meters above sea level.
