Finca Patzibir
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
The farm is managed by Andrés Fahsen, who is a fifth-generation coffee producer. The name Patzibir is derived from the Kaqchikel language, meaning the place where the tzibir tree lives. While the current management emphasizes modern, sustainable agroforestry, the family's connection to farming in the region spans nearly two centuries.
Challenges
The farm is situated in a microclimate characterized by heavy cloud cover and limited direct sunlight, which requires careful management of plant health and tissue to maintain productivity.
Published coffees linked to this farm
For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
