Of the five volcanic coffee regions of Guatemala, Atitlán’s soil is the richest in organic matter. Ninety percent of Traditional Atitlán is cultivated along the slopes of the three volcanoes that dominate the shores of Lake Atitlán. The daily winds (called Xocomil) that stir the cold lake waters are an important influence on the microclimate.

Atitlán in the cup
Delightfully aromatic with a bright citrus acidity and full body.
