Grower / Región: Asociación Barillense de Agricultores (ASOBAGRI) / Santa Cruz Barillas, Huehuetenango, Guatemala
 
Notes: This coffee is grown in the isolated region of Santa Cruz Barillas. The spectacularly rugged terrain has served to preserve the indigenous heritage, distinct clothing, and dialects that can vary from one mountain ridge to the next. In this cultural oasis, ASOBAGRI has become an important bridge to the international coffee community. This cooperative is simply one of the most sophisticated and well-organized in the world. With more than 1,400 members, spread across 80 communities, who cultivate and harvest their own coffee on small farms with their own micro-mills, ASOBAGRI has the enormous task of providing training and technical support that is appropriately tailored to the needs of the members.
