These burlap sacks hold coffee from La Voz Que Clama en el Desierto, a cooperative based in San Juan La Laguna on the shores of Lake Atitlán. The stenciled markings note "Producto de Guatemala" along with the crop year, 2016–2017, and a standard export weight of 150 pounds per bag. Cooperatives like this one process and bag parchment coffee for shipment abroad, with lot numbers stamped on each sack to track origin and harvest.
