Guatemala La Voz Atitlan

Atitlan, Toliman and the San Pedro volcanoes are standing around the most beautiful lake of the world; Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. It is a magical place where the earth's majesty flexes its power through striking volcanoes, reflective water and colorful people. All around this lake are communities of indigenous Tzutujil, Kakchiquel and Quiche Mayan people who have been cultivating coffee in these intensely rich soils of Lake Atitlan for the past 90 years. This region hosts the perfect conditions to provide excellent coffees. They are skillful producers dedicated to community collaboration and commitment working together to be ECOQTM certified coffee producers.

Some tell the story of an evil Mayan Nahual who lives in the lake and only comes out if a bad bean of coffee leaves Lake Atitlan...but no one has seen this Nahual for over 20 years, especially at Elan Organic Coffees.
