Established in 1988 by 40 coffee farmers, ASOCHAJUL has grown to a membership of over 1,500 coffee producers. Through its long history, the cooperative has remained committed to enacting a worldview informed by its members' Mayan heritage, including a reverence for the natural world, environmentally responsible organic growing processes, and a policy of peace-keeping known as "working the land without violence."
Located within the Ixil triangle and Chucutumanes in the northern part of Guatemala's Quiché department, ASOCHAJUL's growers cultivate coffee at altitudes ranging between 1,100 and 1,800 meters above sea level. Farmers produce Caturra, Catuai and Bourbon varieties of Arabica coffee through certified Fair Trade and organic agricultural techniques. Harvest generally takes place between from January to June, depending on elevation and variety. After picking, coffee cherries are wet processed and sun dried on cement patios.

Grind Types
Whole Bean-- While we are happy to grind your beans, your coffee will stay fresher longer if you grind it as you go. There are many great home grinder options out there and many are surprisingly inexpensive.
Drip-- This is a medium grind that is the most versatile. Brewing methods using drip include home coffee drip machines, pour-overs (like Hario), Chemex, and AeroPress.
Espresso-- This grind is generally used for espresso makers. This includes home machines and stove-tip espresso pots. The grind is the most fine and is optimized to work with a high pressure extraction system.
Coarse-- Coarse is for percolators, french press, cold brewing, and sometimes AeroPress. Coarse is the biggest/loosest grind and enables water to move more freely steeping coffee for extraction.
All of the above, while generally true in the industry, also should be adjusted for preference. Feel free to experiment and please contact us if you have questions and we will be happy to work with you.

5 Great Coffee!
Posted by Porteous, Robert on Nov 30th 2023
We love Cafe Campesino coffees! I was not a coffee drinker until I started buying these coffees. Now, I am hooked and cannot live without them! The flavors are so smooth. Not bitter like I had always experienced with coffee in the past.

I bought this coffee because I was wanting a morning cup that I could drink without cream or sugar and it hit the spot- great with my french press.

Posted by Audrey York on Jan 1st 2023
I am so delighted every time this coffee is delivered to my house! I first got a taste of Cafe Campesino while working in Americus at Center Stage Market (which sadly no longer exists). I have loved this coffee and this company ever since, and continue to enjoy it at home every single morning!

5 Guatemala Full City
Posted by GEGJr on May 16th 2022
Great for making cold brew, ready to drink or concentrate. I also use it for hot pour-over and iced coffee. I do wish they would list the variety used in each roast.
