Pataleón López Jalapa, Guatemala
In the Jalapa Mountains, in southeastern Guatemala, lies the indigenous community of Santa María Xalapán, an agricultural region situated at an elevation of between 1,700 and 1,900 meters. Here, surrounded by rich, fertile soil, farmers have been growing corn, tomatoes, apples, peaches, and avocados for generations.
Coffee arrived later, but found exceptional growing conditions in these mountains. The combination of altitude, volcanic soils of pumiceous origin, abundant rainfall, and a cool climate allows the coffee cherries to ripen slowly and develop greater complexity.
The initiative to grow coffee in an organized manner began as a way to strengthen the community’s economy. Following a visit from a Spanish organization that encouraged producers to work collectively and seek better markets for their products, the community began to develop a joint project. With support from Primavera, the association was formally established in February 2017.
Today, this group of producers works primarily with traditional varieties such as Pache, San Ramón, Catuaí, Bourbon, and Caturra. The coffee trees grow in the shade of local species such as chalún and caspirol, as well as gravilea and banana trees, within a diverse agricultural landscape that remains central to the community’s identity.
This washed coffee represents the collective efforts of Santa María Xalapán and the potential of a region where coffee has become a new opportunity to complement a long agricultural tradition.
