Most small-scale producers are descended from Mayans, who like to be called natives. They are also currently benefiting from a US-funded program known locally as "The Project," which plans to invest $2.5 million to encourage small, high-quality coffee plantations. The main areas of Guatemala that produce high-quality coffee are Lake Atitlan and Huehuentenango. The aim of the project is to help overcome the vicious cycle of high production and low quality that afflicts the world coffee industry. Bourbon trees, for example, grow taller and produce fewer beans than the new dwarf trees, and although they are both Arabica varieties, Bourbon trees produce better beans and are more popular with foodies. The project also hopes to encourage local producers to process their own coffee beans, as most coffee cherries are now sold to middlemen, and the value and even quality of coffee could be improved if it could be processed in local factories.

Antigua is also a famous coffee producer. Antigua coffee is produced at Hacienda Carmona, where the best quality coffee is ELPulcal, which is not only of good quality, but also richer in flavor, taste and tobacco flavor than other coffees in Guatemala. Every 30 years or so, the area around Antigua is hit by a volcanic eruption, which provides more nitrogen to the already fertile land, and sufficient rainfall and sunshine make the area more suitable for growing coffee
