Why does Guatemalan coffee taste so good?

From the sense of smell, the fragrance is full, the flowers are sweet, and the mouth is smooth and balanced after the entrance. Although it is slightly sour, it makes people like the bright taste very much.

Huashen is produced by this processing factory of Las Pastores, and the brand belongs to Raminita Group. Under the control of raw beans and cup testing by quality control personnel, Huashen has established a set of strict procedures from purchasing cherry fruits to washing, sun drying and drying. Of course, it also works in accordance with Raminita's famous strict selection procedures for raw beans! Finally enjoy a certain reputation under the quality control requirements and monitoring of La Minita.

Flavor description: floral, alpine fir, tea, berries, cream, sweet lemon, caramel, sweetness, flowers, hazelnut chocolate, tea, almonds, honey. The taste is very sour and sweet, with sweet chocolate and berries in the finish.

"La Flor del Cafe" means Coffee Flower, a coffee farm in the volcanic mountains of Antigua, Guatemala, guided by La Minita Manor in Costa Rica.

Antigua coffee has always been known for its "sour taste". In addition to its bright sour taste, Flower God gives off a fresh and elegant fragrance after grinding, which is the origin of its good name "Coffee Flower".

Taste introduction and cooking suggestions:

The flower god has not only an elegant name, but also a delicate and pleasant red wine in the mouth when drunk, with chocolate and nutty aromas after cooling.

The recommended baking degree is light baking or medium baking. Try to wash the beans at a lower water temperature (below 84 degrees) during the first three days after baking.

After cooking and awakening the beans, you can gradually increase the temperature of the boiled water (88mur90 degrees), making the taste fuller and more balanced with acidity and mellow feeling.

Guatemala has been more successful in defining its coffee priority areas than most countries and has developed markets with very different sales models. According to my experience, coffee in this area has the same flavor characteristics, but it has not been explicitly stated so far.

SAN MARCOS

San Marcos San Marcos is the warmest and wettest coffee growing area in Guatemala. On the hillside facing the Pacific Ocean, the rainy season comes earlier, so the flowering time is earlier than usual. Rainfall has a great influence on post-harvest drying, so some farms use a mixture of sun and mechanical drying at the same time. In the region, agriculture is the mainstay of the economy and also produces food, fruit, meat and wool.

Variety: bourbon, Caturra,Catuai

ACATENANGO

The coffee production area of the Akernango region revolves around the Arcatel Nangot Valley, named after the volcano. In the past, many producers sold coffee to coyotes, through which the fruit was exported to the Antigua region and processed there. This is because Antigua coffee has a good reputation and can be sold at a higher price. This practice is not very common now, since the coffee produced in the Arcatel Nango specialty area produces excellent coffee beans and has become more and more widely recognized, making the coffee beans in the area not only profitable but also traceable.

Altitude: 1300-2000m

Harvest: December-March

Variety: bourbon, Caturra,Catuai

ATITLAN

The Atitland Coffee Farm is located around Lake Attilan. Located at 1500 meters (4900 feet) above sea level, the lake has captured the hearts of many writers and tourists because of its incredible beauty over the years. Strong winds are common here in the late morning and early afternoon, and locals call them "xocomil", meaning "the wind that takes away sin". Here, some private nature reserves have been set up to protect the biodiversity of the area and to help prevent deforestation. Due to rising labor costs and labor competition, coffee production is under pressure. Urban expansion has also increased pressure on land use, with some farmers finding it more profitable to sell their land than to continue to grow coffee.

COBAN

Before World War II, German coffee producers took control of the region, and the town of Koban was named after this history of growth and prosperity. The dense tropical rain forest climate pattern creates a very humid climate, which is a challenge for coffee drying. The area is difficult and expensive to transport because of its geographical location, however, there is still amazing coffee from the area.

Altitude: 1300-1500m

Harvest: December-March

Variety: bourbon, Maragogype,Catuai,Caturra,Pache

ANTIGUA

Antigua is probably the best-known coffee producing region in Guatemala, as well as one of the best-known countries. The area, named Antigua, is home to famous Spanish buildings and UNESCO World Heritage sites. Because the market was previously flooded with pirated coffee beans that devalued Antigua coffee, the coffee beans in the area were originally named "authentic Antigua Coffee" in 2000. However, this has not completely curbed the pirated coffee beans imported from abroad and processed locally. In spite of this, in addition to those overpriced fakes, coffee beans of good quality and worth tracing, as well as coffee beans that do come from Antigua, can be traced back to the source.

Why is the coffee in Antigua, Guatemala so delicious?

Because Guatemala has a unique volcanic terrain and high altitude, where the topography and soil environment uniquely create the unique flavor of coffee beans, Antigua is surrounded by three volcanoes.

Why is this coffee bean so special?

Guatemala Huasen coffee beans are made by a well-known processing plant in Antigua, which is guided by technical guidance granted by Raminita, a well-known coffee group brand, from the selection of raw beans to strict management and control. as a result, it has quite excellent and stable quality.

Another reason is the fact that Guatemala retains more traditional Typica and Bourbon Arabica coffee trees than many other Latin American coffee-producing countries, which contributes to the flavor of Guatemala Antigua coffee.
