New Oriental is one of the seven producing areas of boutique coffee defined by the Guatemala Coffee Association (Anacafe) in 1980, which is defined as the land between Barberena, Jutiapa and Chiquimula.

Since 1950, coffee in this area has been grown almost entirely by small producers.

Now, what used to be one of the poorest and most isolated areas of Guatemala is vibrant and growing, and almost every farm on the mountain has become a coffee-producing unit. Most of the coffee in the New Oriental region comes from small family-owned estates, which also grow other basic crops as daily food.

This producing area is rapidly becoming more and more famous among coffee connoisseurs, and their demand for this coffee is increasing year by year. As a result, every farm on the mountain has shifted to growing coffee, replacing other crops as the main source of products and income.
