Patlanalan is one of the most remote communities in Puebla. One of Patlanalan’s defining characteristics is that the center of the community holds one of the best-known lagoons in Puebla, the Patlanalan lagoon.
The predominant varieties in the area are Mundo Novo, Sarchimor, and yellow Caturra. During harvest, producers use family labor for all their work. Patlanalan producers co-plant coffee with native shade trees such as banana and ice cream bean trees.
