ANTIGUA

Antigua is probably the best-known coffee-producing region in Guatemala, as well as one of the best-known countries. The area is named "Antigua City" and has famous Spanish architecture and UNESCO World Heritage sites. In 2000, the coffee beans in Antigua received the name of origin as "genuine Antigua coffee" because the market was previously flooded with pirated coffee beans that devalued Antigua coffee beans. However, this has not completely stopped the production of pirated coffee beans from imported fruits and processed locally. Nevertheless, apart from the overpriced counterfeits, there are good quality coffee beans that can be traced back to Antigua and are worth pursuing.

Guatemala Guatemala

Population: 15,438,000

Guatemala has been more successful than most in defining its coffee focus areas and developing markets with very different marketing models. In my experience, coffee from this region has a consistent flavor profile, but there is no hard and fast way to specify this.

SAN MARCOS

San Marcos is both the warmest and wettest coffee-growing region in Guatemala. On the slopes facing the Pacific Ocean, the rainy season comes earlier, so flowering is earlier than usual. Rainfall has a large impact on post-harvest drying, so some farms mix sun and mechanical drying. Agriculture is the mainstay of the region's economy, and it also produces food, fruit, meat and wool.

Altitude: 1300--1800m

Harvest: December-March

Breeds: Bourbon, Caturra, Catuai

ACATENANGO

Akatango The coffee producing area of this region surrounds the Akatango Valley region, named after the volcano. In the past, many producers sold coffee to "coyotes," through which the fruit was exported to Antigua, where it was processed. This is because Antigua coffee enjoys a better reputation and can be sold at a higher price. This practice is less common now, since the Akatnam specialty coffee produces excellent coffee beans, and the increasingly widespread recognition that coffee beans in the region are not only profitable but traceable.

Altitude: 1,300- 2,000 m

Harvest: December-March

Breeds: Bourbon, Caturra, Catuai

ATITLAN

The coffee farms in Atitlan are situated around Lake Atitlan. Located at an elevation of 1500 meters (4900 feet), the lake has captured the hearts of writers and tourists for years because of its unparalleled beauty. Strong winds are common here in the late morning and early afternoon, and locals call them "xocol," meaning "wind that takes away sin." Here, a number of private nature reserves have been established to protect the biodiversity of the area and help prevent deforestation. Due to rising labor costs and competition for labor, coffee production is under pressure. Urban sprawl has also increased pressure on land use, with some farmers finding it more profitable to sell their land than to continue growing coffee.

COBAN

Before World War II, German coffee producers controlled the area, and Cobain took its name from this period of growth and prosperity. The dense rainforest climate pattern creates a very humid climate, which is a challenge for coffee drying. The area is difficult and expensive to transport due to its location, however, amazing coffee comes from the area.

Altitude: 1,300- 1,500 m

Harvest: December-March
