The story behind

 Cooperative La Asuncion

Coperative La Asuncion headquarters is located in the town San Jose Poaquil near Acatenango, Chimaltenango. The Cooperative members have farms ranging from 1800 to 2000 meters above sea level and receive 1,800 mm of rainfall each year on average. Most of the farms grow coffee under shade from ''Chalum'', Grevillea, Avocado, Pine or ''Jocote'' trees.  

The fully washed coffees from the La Asuncion Cooperative are traditionally depulped and fermented in washing tanks with fresh water for about 24 hours before being fully washed and dried on patios for approximately 12-15 days. Each day-lot is then cupped and separated by cupping profile to manage consistency in the cup.
