UTZ Certified – La Laguna Guatemala

La Laguna coffee comes from a selection of a few small producers from the towns located on the west coast of Lake Atitlan. The lake is surrounded by three spectacular volcaoes: Toloman, Atitlan and San Pedro.

These producers are well organized under different coffee cooperatives in the small municipalities surrounding the lake and all share a well maintained wet mill and drying patio. The ripe red cherries are carefully harvested and selected by these small producers and delivered to the central processing station. The pulp is allowed to decompose naturally and used as organic furtilizer. The shade of the Guava and Gravilea trees provide not only a slow maturity
