The coffee produced in the region has achieved international recognition for its high quality and outstanding characteristics such as body, acidity, fruity aroma and softness.

UTZ certified since 2009, the farm draws the traceability of their lots from harvest to final product. Producing with social and environmental responsibility, Alto Alegre’s priority is to make the best coffees with respect to nature, employees and consumers.
Sustainability of production is
a central concern of our company:
plateau terracing, use of natural
windbreakers, disposal of solid and liquid
residue as well as providing high quality
housing for the families that live and work
on our farms is our priority.
Increasingly, consumers want
to know where their food comes
from. They want to make sure
that food is produced responsibly,
not harming the environment or
exploiting the workforce.
UTZ Certified is a worldwide
certification program that sets
standards for agricultural production
and ensures responsible sourcing of
coffee. UTZ, which means “good” in the
Mayan language, provides the guarantee
of respect for the standards of social
and environmental quality in
agricultural production.
Our intention is to produce
the best coffee from our
family to yours.
Experience Alto Alegre.
