HISTORY
The San Felipe farm was founded at the beginning of the 20th century with the vision of a family from Patzún, who managed to make the town’s rocky terrain prosperous, producing quality Arabica coffee with an exceptional aroma.
The plantation is located in the village of Panibaj, Patzún Chimaltenango, at an altitude of 1,800 meters above sea level, on the banks of the Madre Vieja River and in the shadow of the Atitlán and Tolimán volcanoes.
The commercial name of Café Don Lipe is in honor of its founder Don Felipe Benavente, who taught his children and grandchildren to love the land and respect its inhabitants. Likewise, it is the name by which he is remembered by many of the workers who still work on the farm today.
