The Co-op
Located in the region of Huehuetenango, the Cooperativa Agricola Integral Axola R.L. was formed in 1993. Although the region has been known to produce coffee for over fifty years, the Cooperative was born of a desire to assist the local farmers improve their livelihoods through the production of quality coffee.
The Growers
The group is made up of 51 women and 159 men make up the group, and farm on just 79 hectares of land.
The Harvest
The harvest usually occurs from December to April, and is all handpicked before being fully washed and sun dried. To support themselves throughout the year, the community also farms corn and beans. Funds generated though the Cooperative are used to repair common grounds such as the warehouse and mill.
About the People
The producers of the Axola Cooperative are the indigenous peoples of Mayan Popti ethnicity. In the local dialect, Axola means “Ruins surrounded by water”, in reference to the archaeological sites in the area.
Guatemala Finca Axola is milder in flavour to our usual Blend 10 but it is perfect for an afternoon iced coffee.
But found it little light on the body for my taste
Subtle on the palate , great coffee to have anyway that takes you're fancy from long blacks to lattes
