Natural Atitlán (7494I)

PRODUCTION AREA
Atitlán is one of Guatemala’s eight official coffee-growing regions, and its soil – the richest in organic matter across the country – makes it exceptionally suited to coffee cultivation. Here, coffee grows between 1,640 and 1,706 metres above sea level, along the lake’s shores and up steep volcanic slopes shaped by centuries of eruption.

THE FARM
The 90Ha coffee farm is nestled within the volcanic range that runs through Guatemala. To the east, the towering peaks of Fuego, Acatenango, Agua and Pacaya line the horizon, while to the west, Volcán Tolimán, San Pedro and Atitlán stand sentinel over the still waters of Lake Atitlán.
This dramatic setting creates a distinct microclimate: warm coastal winds meet high humidity, with average rainfall of 2,000 mm sustaining healthy plants and preserving the soil. The result is a rare balance of volcanic richness, altitude and moisture – a terroir that gives Atitlán coffee its unmistakable depth and character.
