We first met Andres Fahsen at his farm, Finca Patzibir, while visiting our friends at Los Volcanes Coffee in Guatemala in 2023. Andres is a fifth-generation coffee producer who partners closely with LVC to apply organic and regenerative farming practices across his 56-hectare farm. Finca Patzibir sits on the slopes of Volcán Tolimán, overlooking the southern shore of Lake Atitlán.
The farm’s dramatic setting creates a unique microclimate where Andres has refined his organic methods to maximize both coffee quality and regenerative agroforestry. His coffee plants grow on terraces interplanted with grasses that help retain soil moisture and nutrients during heavy rains. These grasses are then clipped and incorporated into his composting program, returning fertility back into the soil. Much of the canopy is formed by a native tree species called Tzibir—the inspiration behind the farm’s name. In Kaqchikel, an indigenous language of the region, “Patzibir” means “where the Tzibir tree lives.”
This is our third season roasting coffee from Finca Patzibir, and it’s tasting as good as ever with notes of rich milk chocolate layered with mixed berries. There’s a reason this has become one of our best-selling coffees year after year, and we're so stoked it's back!
