Antonio ‘Tony’ Medina is a second generation farmer, but didn’t grow coffee himself until 1991. Tony’s father gave the farm its name; La Colina translates to ‘the hill’, named for the high elevation here in the Chimaltenango hills. La Colina is located just outside the town of San Martin Jilotepeque, only about one and a half hours from the Guatemalan capital, Guatemala City.
It’s also a short drive from the famed Antigua region, the source of Tony’s inspiration to start growing coffee, after initially growing corn and beans on his plot of his father’s lands. Coffee from Antigua exploded in popularity in the late 20th Century; one of the early recognisable stamps of quality in the beginnings of the speciality coffee era. This inspired Tony to grow quality coffee on his lands, slowly increasing the number of coffee trees plants through the 90’s and 2000’s
