Ixlama Washed

Ixlama comes from the department of Huehuetenango near the Guatemala-Mexico border, a region known for its rugged landscapes, high elevation, and for the 22 ethnic groups of Mayan descent who call the municipalities of San Pedro Necta and La Libertad. Many producers here identify as Maya, speak one of the seven local dialects, and work on their farms dressed in the colorful hand-loomed textiles associated with their individual communities – a tradition that contributes to Guatemala's rich culture and to unique identity of this coffee=growing country.
