<Story>

Antigua, Guatemala is a basin surrounded by three volcanoes, with rich volcanic ash soil and cool air blowing in from the mountains creating large temperature differences between day and night.
Antigua, which has the natural conditions to produce the highest quality coffee, has a long history as the first place coffee was cultivated in Guatemala, and has been synonymous with the highest quality coffee since ancient times. In addition to its reputation for coffee, the ancient capital of Antigua is a World Heritage Site, and the entire city is a major tourist destination in Central America.

The Retana Farm was run by Catholic monks. The farm's name comes from the name of Father Retana, who was the head of the farm at the time. At that time, the Retana Farm did not grow coffee, but instead cultivated sugarcane to make a Guatemalan sugar confectionery called rapadura. Later, the owner was Mr. Cofiño, who initially experimented with growing various crops such as corn and avocados at the Retana Farm, before eventually moving on to coffee cultivation. Now, the Retana Farm is a regular winner at the Antigua Coffee Competition, and even won the Cup of Excellence in 2011.
