Felipe Contreras

Felipe Contreras produces coffee in the Antigua region of Guatemala. His farm, Finca Gascón, is situated at an altitude ranging between 1700 and 2080 meters above sea level.

The farm's varietal landscape is primarily focused on Geisha, which accounts for three of the five lots recorded in the index. The remaining lot is comprised of Caturra.

Contreras utilizes a diverse range of processing methods. His portfolio includes natural, anaerobic washed, and anaerobic natural processes. He also employs experimental techniques, including a Koji hybrid washed method and a Koji plus lactic fermentation process.

The catalog footprint for Felipe Contreras includes five distinct lots harvested across recent years. These coffees have been featured by four different roasters. Recent catalog entries include the Finca Gascón Caturra processed as a natural by Assembly Coffee, the Gascon Gesha processed as an anaerobic washed by Kiss the Hippo Coffee, and two Geisha lots from Hydrangea Coffee utilizing experimental Koji hybrid washed and Koji plus lactic fermentation techniques.

The work of Felipe Contreras is characterized by a focus on the Geisha varietal combined with a wide range of experimental and anaerobic processing methods.
