ASUVIM
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
ASUVIM was created in 2003 with help from a nongovernmental organization. Its wet mill also serves as a meeting, office, school, and ecotourism hub. ASUVIM is one of 15 secondary associations delivering coffee to Manos Campesinas. A 2009 Alliance for Coffee Excellence listing documents Bourbon and Caturra; Counter Culture’s 2024–2025 release lists Pache and Typica.
Challenges
Member farms are spread across steep communities around Lake Atitlán, making coordinated cherry delivery and consistent central processing important.
Innovations
The Paquip wet mill centralizes processing for member farms. ASUVIM documents ecological milling, water recirculation and treatment, coffee-pulp composting, patio sun drying, and quality-control sampling.
Published coffees linked to this farm
For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.

Research sources & verification
These source links were recorded for this farm profile. They document its research trail; a linked source is not, by itself, confirmation of every farm, producer, coffee lot or photo identity.
