位於危地馬拉(Guatemala)南部的安提瓜(Antigua)產區，由Agua、Acatenango及Fuego與三座火山環繞的聖塔克拉拉莊園(Finca Santa Clara)，莊園位處海拔1,600至1,830米高的安提瓜山谷(Antigua Valley)南部肥沃山坡上，火山土壤養份豐富，加上種植過程中小心控制咖啡樹吸取的陽光程度，得以種植出優秀的精品咖啡豆。

莊園由Zelaya家族自1974年開始經營，目前已經營至第四代，自從他們接收經營開始，他們將種植面植大幅增加，並增設濕處理廠、曬豆場、溫室等設備改善種植環境，以顯示他們對咖啡品質的追求和堅持。

This renowned family owns farms throughout Guatemala and grows one of only a handful of genuine "Antigua" coffees (coffees grown in the Antigua valley area bounded by three volcanoes – Agua, Acatenango and Fuego). Finca Santa Clara is located on the fertile southern slopes of the Volcán de Agua in the Antigua Valley at 1,600-1,830 metres, and is privileged to have one of the finest volcanic soils to produce specialty coffee. The plantation is under the strict control of shade, allowing the coffee trees to receive the exact amount of sunshine required to produce this fine, exquisite and aromatic coffee.

Ricardo Zelaya has managed the farm, which was bought in 1974 by his Grandfather, since 1988 and is the 4th generation of the Zelaya family to have produced coffee at Santa Clara. Since taking over the farm, he has increased the size from 17 hectares of coffee plantations up to 95 hectares as well as building a wet mill, drying patios and a greenhouse to improve the processing of the coffee.
