Guatemala Roasted Coffee Direct

Guatemala Roasted Coffee Direct from the Coffee Farm and Guatemala Coffee Roasters, shipped by DHL from Guatemala to any country DHL services.

The Lake Atitlan Region of Guatemala is considered one of the premium coffee-producing regions in Guatemala.

Along the shores of Lake Atitlan, you will find Coffee Farms, Roasters, and small shops offering, High Mountain, Shade Grown Arabica coffee.

However a problem exists, wholesales and brokers of this premium coffee, pay the coffee farms and coffee roasters pennies on the dollar for the best coffee.

Guatemala Roasted Coffee Direct from Farms or Roasters, a problem solved by a company called Ethical Fashion Guatemala.

You may wonder how or why a Fashion site has anything to do with coffee. Many of the Weavers and Artisans Ethical Fashion supports are coffee producers and roasters.

Ethical began four years ago protecting the rights of Mayan Artisans, as the group expanded shipping became an important part of the business allowing Artisans access to global markets.

Lake Atitlan Tours offers coffee tours that support coffee producers in the region and we have continued to support and work closely with Ethical Fashion Guatemala from the beginning.

The company is transparent and has the trust and support of Artisans and Coffee Producers.

Coffee production in Guatemala began to develop in the 1850s. Coffee is an important element of Guatemala’s economy.

Guatemala was Central America’s top producer of coffee for most of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century, until being overtaken by Honduras in 2011. Illegal exports to Honduras and Mexico are not reflected in official statistics.

Many acres of land were suitable for this cultivation, and the varieties that were produced in the temperate regions were superior. Coffee was grown around Guatemala City, Chimaltenango, and Verapaz.

The majority of the plantations were located in the departments of Guatemala, Amatitlan, Sacatepequez, Solola, Retalhuleu, Quezaltenango, San Marcos, and Alta Verapaz.

The two trips covered different parts of the lake and provided good contrast to each other.  It would be hard to recommend one tour over the  other, you can't go wrong with either and doing both is worth 2 days of your time. Our kids did well on both days;  there is so much variety in activities during the trips that the kids never got in a rut.  We appreciated Jim's willingness to answer all of our questions,  his patience with the kids and his flexibility to adjust the itinerary (E.g. ice crème stops, bathroom breaks, and extra kid playtime).  For an active family, these trips more than met our expectations and resulted in a unique and memorable adventure.  We have so much respect for the Mayan people after this intimate experience. …

					  I did the Lake Atitlan village boat tour, which really turned into a private "create your own tour" (per James' own words!). James was an amazingly knowledgeable guide for all... read more things Guatemala - from coffee to history to current events...he was a wealth of knowledge. Not only  did I learn a lot, the tour was (as I mentioned) basically customized to my interests. We took a beautiful boat tour across the late to two of the villages, drank lots of coffee, ate an authentic lunch, visited many sites (chocolate story, weaving store supported by local Mayan women, honey store, etc.) and interacted with a ton of James' local friends. It was neat to hear their stories and see how/where some of them lived. Made the experience much more authentic in my opinion. James and I also had great conversations throughout the day. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone thinking about exploring Atitlan. James works with you to see what you're most interested in, and you ultimately get a say in what you see. Of note, I was a female solo traveler and always felt very safe.
