La Cascada comes from the Acatenango Valley, a very unique coffee producing area in Guatemala, the smallest of the eight largest coffee producing areas in Guatemala, located on the hillside of a volcano, with an average elevation of 1600 meters above sea level. Its soil is rich in volcanic mixtures and comes from new volcanic ash that often erupts from nearby Fuego volcanoes. The climate is characterized by four distinct seasons, which allows farmers to dry their coffee in spring, Rain Water, which infuses coffee trees with abundant humidity in summer, and warm and humid sea breezes from the Pacific Ocean in winter to protect coffee from the cold.
