Guatemala has seven main coffee producing areas: Antigua, Coban, Atitlan, Huehuetenango, Fraijanes, Oriente, and San Marcos.

The four producing areas of Antigua, Attland, San Marco and Freihanes belong to volcanic geology. In addition, Koban and Weitnango, the three producing areas of New Oriental, belong to the climate of non-volcanic highlands or tropical rain forests. Guatemala is home to more than 300 microclimates, making it the largest in the world.

Antigua is the oldest and most beautiful city in America. As early as 1543, Antigua was the capital of all colonial times in Central America, and the Government House of Spain was also set up here. After the great earthquake of 1773, the whole city of Antigua was destroyed and the capital was moved to Guatemala City. Antigua is about 40 kilometers west of Guatemala City. Colonial buildings were damaged by the earthquake, and the whole remains after the earthquake is a living museum of history.

Now Antigua (Antigua) is a famous producer of coffee, rich volcanic soil, low humidity, strong sunlight and cool night breeze are the characteristics of Antigua. Three spectacular active volcanoes ── Agua, Acatenango and Fuego form a beautiful valley. Fuego active volcano also adds misty dust from time to time. Every 30 years or so, the area near Antigua is hit by a volcanic eruption, which provides more nitrogen to the already fertile land, and plenty of rainfall and sunlight make the place more suitable for growing coffee.

Antigua coffee is produced in Camana Manor, where the best quality coffee is ELPulcal, which is not only of good quality, but also, when compared with other Latin American coffees, this coffee is quite complete, rich and astonishing, and you will find it unexpected if you enjoy it with chocolate. The most important thing is that it has a very rich flavor and a richer taste, and it has a fascinating taste of tobacco and is known as the "most perfect coffee bean".

Another old coffee estate worth mentioning in Guatemala is the Graft Manor (El Injerto) in the northwestern Vettenango region, or translated as Incht Manor. The name of the grafted manor is strange, and its name comes from the founder Aguiri. Jesus Aguirre Panama worried that the coffee seed breeding variety would change the characteristics of the original coffee variety, so he used grafting method to breed pure bourbon varieties to ensure the quality of coffee. However, at the beginning, it was proud of the purebred bourbon, but today's grafted regiment is valued by the hybrid Pacamara.

The varieties of Pacamara coffee beans cultivated by the grafted manor are planted at a high altitude of more than 1600 meters, which is as famous as the rosy summer of the Emerald Manor in Panama. Pacamara coffee with rich and varied flavor, round and smooth taste. From 2008 to 2010, he won the "extraordinary Cup" Cup test championship in Guatemala. Pacamara Champion beans, which took over the estate in 2008, created an auction price of US $80.2 per pound, causing a sensation in the coffee world.

At present, some of the best quality coffee from Guatemala is exported to Japan. In order to revitalize its coffee industry, Guatemala has specially set up a special coffee association and gives maximum funding and attention to these high-quality coffees. these efforts will soon bear fruit, and the real beneficiaries are not only coffee growers, but also coffee lovers all over the world.

Although this emerald valley has been surrounded by dangerous active volcanoes in all directions since ancient times, its vast, broad and fertile soil still tempts local coffee growers to cultivate quality coffee. They, on the other hand, prefer to be called the Mayan descendants of coffee growers.
