Viscaya Coffee Estate is located in Guatemala's earliest production region and has been renowned for its high-quality coffee for two centuries. The coffee from Viscaya Estate grows along mountain ridges at elevations ranging from 1,300 to 1,800 meters, with temperatures between 21 to 27 degrees. Influenced by Pacific Ocean sea breezes and moisture, the relative humidity ranges from 70% to 80%, with rainfall between 4,000 to 5,000 millimeters, making it the highest rainfall area among Guatemala's eight production regions. The nearby active volcano Santiaguito provides volcanic ash, making the soil even more fertile. Due to climate conditions and unpredictable rainfall, most estates have their own washing facilities, after which the coffee is placed in courtyards to semi-dry, then dried using low-temperature methods.
