Mild cocoa flavors play off pecan and almond with mellow dried citrus zest.

ASPROGUATE, the Asociación Sostenible de Productores de Guatemala, is a cooperative established in 2014 by 100 organic coffee producers across the intersection of the Cobán, Acatenango, and Chimaltenango regions. The cooperative was formed with a mission to promote sustainable development among coffee producers and to provide access to international markets for their high-quality, organically grown coffees. In 2016, they opened a central office in the town of San Martín Jilotepeque.

The cooperative's producers grow a range of varieties, including Typica, Caturra, Catuaí, and Bourbon. Coffees are typically processed using the Washed method.

Approximately 90% of ASPROGUATE's members belong to the indigenous Kaqchikel and Tz'utujil ethnic groups, with 55% of the producers being women. The cooperative emphasizes gender equality and actively works to reject discrimination, slavery, and child labor. Through social programs, ASPROGUATE educates its members on these critical issues, fostering an inclusive and equitable community.

Through its goal of fostering long-term relationships between producers and international buyers, the coop is able to maintain fair prices for its members, which in turn supports communities where 85% rely completely on agriculture for their income.
