Guatemala la Voz
Notes of White Grapes, Chocolate, and Light Citrus
This coffee comes from a region in the Western Highlands of Guatemala named for its picturesque volcanoes and beautiful lake, Lago Atitlan. Grown in fertile volcanic soils by a small farmer cooperative rich in Indian tradition, La Voz que Clama en el Desierto (“The Voice that Cries out in the Desert”) has been certified organic since 1992. The name pays homage to St. John, the patron saint of the village, San Juan La Laguna. The population is about 95% Tz’utujil.

Past leadership years ago successfully laundered money, were rife with corruption, and fled the country. Now in financial ruin, the government installed Andres Cotuc to be the manager and Andres then appointed Dona Andrea as the assisting manager. They established a 14-member board that is made up of 5 farmers, 3 village members, 3 finance profe
