Finca Pampojilá is a historic farm in Guatemala that was founded in the 1850s by Manuel and Monica Diaz.

 This farm has won many national awards throughout its history. In 2010 the farm was damaged by tropical storm Agatha, and sold from the Diaz family to the organization Agropecuaria Atitlán.

This event provided an opportunity for rejuvenation of the farm, including planting new varieties and building infrastructure to support new innovative processing techniques. The farm is thriving now. 

Finca Pampojilpa is a member of the Association of Private Natural Reserves of Guatemala. 50% of the farm area is committed to remaining in its natural state as tropical forest.

Process Method: The Washed process varies greatly across the growing regions of Guatemala due in large part to the different terroir and terrain that exists from place to place there, but for the most part the primary difference in style is in the length of time that the coffee is allowe to ferment. Generally speaking, coffee is picked ripe and depulped the same or the following day, then allowed to ferment for anywhere between 12–48 hours, depending on the climate. The coffee is then washed clean of its mucilage and spread on patios or raised beds to dry.
