The first time Alejandro went to a farm he was 6 years old, since then he love to visit ROSMA the farm of his father, all his childhood he joined his Dad to the farm and asked as many things as he could and that is how he got in loved with coffee. He moved to Guatemala City for 18 years until 2015 Alejandro went back to Huehuetenango city with his family to stablish and get back to work in the coffee business. He bought a land near Huehuetenango City and his dream was to have his own farm, but climate conditions in Huehuetenango City is not so good for coffee plantations; with the experience of the family growing coffee for more than 40 years the plantation started with a manual irrigation system and having planning to get an exotic variety he started the nursery of Gesha. The farm was called LA GRAN MANZANA because it is a beautiful garden of coffee into the city, Alejandro´s mother got the idea of the name.
In 2021 the first crop had given the flavors expected but the coffee trees needed to be more healthy for growing; so after a big effort the irrigation system was upgraded getting more water for the trees, and it allowed to performed fertilization with the irrigation and algo applied techniques to reenforced and enriched the soiled with organic fertilized.

Acidity explanation:
When customers ask us to recommend beans, the number one question is about flavor, and the number two is “Is this acidic?”
First of all, the feeling of the acidity varies from person to person. Once I met two guests. A said he would like to drink acid coffee, while B said he would not drink acid coffee. So I made a Natural Yirgacheffe Blue Donkey for them. A said that it was too acidic, and B said that it was okay. It is clear that there are individual differences in the sensitivity of acidity.
Since there are individual differences, is there any criterion for reference?
We generally use several fruits to make the evaluation from the least acidic to the most acidic. From 1~5 is strawberry jam, grapes, apples, oranges, lemons. So that the scores of relative acidity can help the consumers with a reference in purchasing.
