Santiago Atitlan, home of the Mayan Tz’utujiles, is also home to the Cooperativa Atitlan, El Paraiso Tzutujil R.L.. Founded in 2015, the Coop currently has 24 associates, 5 of which are female. In addition, nearly 900 producers associates contribute coffee to
CoAtitlan. This impressive group of producers are also involved in agri-tourism to their installations, they work with experimental coffee varietals, have a coffee nursery, and produce vegetables for income generation outside of the coffee harvest.
Elevate began a relationship with the Co-Atitlan Cooperative at the prompting of a friend, who we have known since our first days of working in Guatemala. We have visited the producers many times. They even host us for a seed to cup coffee tour during our group trips to Guatemala. Check out our next trip with fit4adventure.com to join us on the adventure of a lifetime!
Great Quality & a Good Cause!
I use the whole beans in my cappuccino machine - love the flavor, no acidic taste. The company, the people, the service - all good. I've been buying from them since I found out about over a year ago.

Great coffee to support a wonderful cause. A win win for everyone. Once you taste the coffee, you will ever wonder why you hesitated to try it. Fresh roasted, delivered to your doorstep every month.
