El Gigante comes from Oswaldo Suchin’s estate in the New Oriente region in Guatemala. The coffee grows at an altitude of 1560-1700m on the 24 hectare estate of El Gigante and all coffee berries there are picked by hand. The coffee is washed at the estate’s own washing station. After this, the coffee is dried in the sun on patios. This particular lot is of the Catuai variety.
The family of Oswaldo Suchin has grown coffee on the El Gigante estate for 15 years. Considering the tradition of Guatemalan coffee farming, El Gigante is fairly new. Nevertheless, the Suchins are very interested in developing their coffees’ quality and strive particularly to specialise in growing high quality coffee. The roastery Turun Kahvipaahtimo has succeeded in roasting an exceptionally splendid espresso.

Hope you enjoyed it!!! I’m looking forward to make associations with you in a near future. We’ve improved our quality this year and adopted new varieties such as geisha, pacamara and bourbon and we’ve implementated new techniches suchs as honey and natural processed. We’re looking forward to improve quality year by year…
Best regards,

Hey Osvaldo! Thank you so much for your comment. The coffee was delicious, indeed. It got very good feedback from our subscribers!
We are super excited about tasting your new coffees in the future. Geisha, pacamara, bourbon all sound splendid altogether with the new processing methods. It’s awesome to hear all this straight from you. We really can’t wait to taste your new coffees. Take care!
Best,
