Finca Pampojilá is a historic farm in Guatemala that was founded in the 1850s by Manuel and Monica Diaz. This farm has won many national awards throughout its history. In 2010 the farm was damaged by tropical storm Agatha, and sold from the Diaz family to the organization Agropecuaria Atitlán.

This event provided an opportunity for rejuvenation of the farm, including planting new varieties and building infrastructure to support new innovative processing techniques. The farm is thriving now. Finca Pampojilá is a member of the Association of Private Natural Reserves of Guatemala. 50% of the farm area is committed to remaining in its natural state as tropical forest.

Atitlan is a geographically diverse area, contributing to the citrus acidity and deep chocolate flavors of the coffees produced in this region. 90% of the coffees in this area are grown on the volcanic slopes surrounding Lake Atitlan. Winds blow across the cool waters, the rain is plentiful, and the soil is rich, all contributing factors to the varying microclimates and cup profiles from this area.
