Control at every stage · From seed to dry mill

We follow every step

01

Caring for the coffee tree

Traditional Arabica varieties — Caturra and Castillo — and top-tier microlots: Pink Bourbon and Red Bourbon.

02

Selective hand-picking

We harvest only cherries at their optimal point of ripeness — with the correct Brix value — avoiding unripe and overripe fruit.

03

Wet processing and dry mill

Traditional wet processing with controlled fermentation and even drying. Mechanical dry milling sorts by density and size — screen size above 14/16 — and produces green coffee with 11.5–12.5% moisture.

The human dimension · Direct trade

The bridge is the family — not a slogan.

The global coffee chain often has many links between the grower and the person drinking the coffee. At Guatilla AS, the family bond is the operating model itself.
