Muxbal Estate is a stunning, mountain-top coffee farm in Unión Juárez that takes its name from the Mayan phrase for “place surrounded by clouds.”

Muxbal is 236 hectares literally at the border of Guatemala. Half is planted with coffee and half is a protected ecological reserve of rainforest, rivers, springs and natural flora and fauna. It is has been Rainforest Alliance certified since 2006,and is continually implementing good environmental and social practices. On the property are a school for the children of the workers, including those who arrive for the harvest; housing for all employees; and a kitchen that feeds them all.

The farm is owned by Maeggi Rodriguez and managed by her sons, Jorge and Juan Pablo, who are enormously open to processing improvements and new ideas. These include developing, two years ago, the ability to create natural and honey-processed coffees.
