Guatemala Coffee region: Lake Attilan Atitlan

Lake Attilan is one of the four major volcanic coffee areas in Guatemala. The mountainous Atitlan region gives coffee a more leisurely personality but no less flavor than Huehuetenango. The soil of Attland is full of fertile organic matter. 90% of the coffee is grown along extremely steep slopes, all the way to Lake Attilan, the largest and most famous volcanic lake in Guatemala, and the daily cool breeze from the Atitl á n lake, giving the region's microclimate its own style and characteristics.

Lynn Manor, which has been an asset of the Lynn family since 1870, was one of the first coffee farms to be certified by OCIA in Guatemala in 1966. Lynn Manor is located in the east of the lake, in the upper part of the hillside of Lake Attilan. Its height makes the estate one of the few estates in dangerous Guatemala to produce organic coffee, and this mode of production has also made them seriously affected by leaf rust. In order to maintain the ecosystem and create an ideal environment for growing coffee, Lyrm Manor uses banana trees as shade trees for coffee plantations, and the full-ripe coffee fruit is picked by hand only, washed thoroughly and then dried in the sun on the patio.

The estate has 187ha of coffee plantations that produce very hard bean coffee with a wide variety of varieties (Bourbon, Caturra, Catuai, Pache). Lynn Manor does not often focus on environmental responsibility during the non-growth process, retaining native natural forests and reforestation areas to plant pine and cypress trees. This action helps protect the natural water source of the manor, allowing all kinds of animals to inhabit, such as deer, birds and squirrels. On the other hand, they also use broken coffee leftovers to make organic compost.
