About us
A family farm, three generations, one valley.
Cafetoland is the direct-sales arm of Finca El General. We grow, process and export our own coffee, and we answer the phone ourselves.
History
"El General Finca de Café"
1954
Clemente Lantan and Ángela Vela Morales acquire the Chuatacaj farm in Acatenango, today known as "El General".
2001
Their daughter, Verónica Lantan Vela de Acajabon, inherits the farm and continues renewing it sector by sector.
Today
The third generation, Sergio José Acajabon Lantan, runs Cafetoland and its commercial office and warehouse in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
The farm lies on the road to the Acatenango volcano at 1,800–1,900 masl. Since 1954 it has been renewed sector by sector with Caturra, Catuaí and Típica, under the shade of grevillea, Hass avocado, loquat and peach trees, with pericón, oregano and chile planted as natural repellents to keep the fruit healthy organically.
