Collection: Saq Joch’ (sak-hoch) Line - Atol Blanco

Any Chapin would tell you that Atol Blanco is the most representative drink of Guatemala, even before coffee. It’s made from ground corn maize, mixed with spices and (in Chichicastenango) is served hot in a coconut shell mug. Maya beliefs were that man was initially created from corn and drinking it would re-energize the body. Today, corn is used in many foods such as la tortilla, the tamal, the chuchito and our favorite, atol blanco. Our design is inspired by the warm colors and feelings that come from drinking a cup of atol on the church steps during a cold winter night in Chichicastenango.
