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.

Altitude: 1300 Murray 1800m

Harvest: December-March

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.

Altitude: 1500-1700m

Guatemala Guatemala is a country with many volcanoes. The coffee produced under the volcanic soil is fine coffee with rich taste. The average altitude in Guatemala is very high, which means that the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large. This harsh environment with large temperature difference between day and night makes the coffee fruit grow longer and slower on the coffee tree. Beans are hard beans, but the flavor is more complete and richer.

Antigua

Rich volcanic soil, low humidity, plenty of sunshine and cool nights are the characteristics of this producing area. The valley is surrounded by three volcanoes: Agua, Fuego and Acatenango. Volcanic ash from the eruption makes the soil of Antigua rich in minerals. Volcanic pumice can maintain humidity and overcome the lack of rainfall in Antigua; dense tree shade protects against occasional frosts.

[features] it is rich in damp fragrance, good balance, high sweetness and elegant taste.

The new coffee beans come from the Dome Manor in the Antigua region of Guatemala. Bourbon: in the 18th century, the French planted seedlings on the island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean. As a result, the coffee beans grew into a curved shape, with small seeds, suitable for upland cultivation, and become an important blood in the coffee family and a treasure in the selected coffee market. The new leaves of bourbon are green, and the angle between the new branches and the trunk is small, about 45 degrees.
