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 The best coffee ever
Posted by Samantha Herrington on Feb 13th 2022
My mom and dad introduced us to Cafe Campesino. I’ve been ordering online for a while and just became a subscriber because we are in love with so many of the roasts. This one is my absolute favorite, and it is truly like magic in my coffee mug. So rich, strong, but nothing about it is overpowering. It’s just amazing.

This coffee is amazing, the perfect Carmel and nutty background. I intended to order ground coffee no but received whole bean N coffee so I had to grind it myself and I made it in my French press!!! Perfect

A full, rich coffee that smells amazing, and tastes just as good. The caramel-y flavor makes the coffee so warm and inviting. A very friendly cup.

The Guatemala is a great everyday coffee (or any time). It is soothing and has a great flavor/aroma. I recommend this for anyone.

5 Might be my new favorite....
Posted by Paul B on Dec 22nd 2017
Love many different Cafe Campesino coffees and espressos, but this recently purchased Guatemala might just be my favorite. Very rich, smooth and flavorful, very easy drinking. I'd say the "caramel, nutty, sweet" description on the label is pretty spot-on. I grind the beans myself and use a pour-over brewer, really gets the most out of this delicious coffee.
