Guatemala La Voz Atitlan

The Guatemalan highlands produce some of the best and most distinctively flavored coffees in the world.  La Voz's coffee arabica trees are cultivated under a rich shade tree canopy that includes many trees native to the region.  This canopy provides a home to a diversity of migratory bird species.  La Voz is a cooperatively managed farmer group with roughly 161 members, of which 61 are women.
