The latitude of Guatemala is about 15 degrees. Because the mountains in Guatemala stretch for a long time and the regional climate changes greatly, it has created eight coffee-producing areas in Guatemala. They are all located in the highland terrain under subtropical climate. The rainfall is abundant and stable. The excellent environment of fertile volcanic ash soil produces Arabica coffee beans with different flavors and characteristics. The sour and fruity taste is smooth and smooth. It belongs to one of the world's top coffees and is suitable for single consumption.

Antigua

Antigua's rich volcanic soil, low humidity, intense sunlight and cool evening winds are characteristic of Antigua. Three spectacular active volcanoes-Aqua Volcano, Akastenango Volcano and Fire Volcano form a beautiful valley. Premium Antigua coffee is rich and mild, with rich aromas and good acidity 1,500 - 1,700

Accatenango Valley New coffee-growing area in the country, at an altitude of 2000 meters, lush forests shade smallholder coffee trees and shield them from the heat of the Pacific Ocean, transforming them into moist airstreams with fruit acids, rich aromas and lingering aftertastes 1,300 - 2,000

Cobain Rainforest

Rainforest Cobán The area is cloudy all year round, with abundant rainfall and cool climate. The soil composition is calcareous and clay. Influenced by the tropical climate of the Atlantic basin and the jungle stretching north, coffee in this area is mostly grown on obviously slow hilly land. The coffee characteristics of this area are completely different from those of other producing areas in Guatemala. Full bodied beans with bright and subtle acidity and a light wine aroma 1,300 - 1,500

Volcanic San Marco is the warmest coffee-producing region in Guatemala. The rainfall in this area is abundant, the rainy season is the most dense, and the flowering period is the earliest. The rainy season peaks between June and September, with torrential rains, up to 197 inches a year in some areas. Coffee in this area has a distinct sour taste, full beans, and a clear, light floral aroma. 1,400 - 1,800

Traditional Atitlán One of the four volcanic coffee areas of Guatemala. Attitlan's soil is rich in organic matter. 90% of the coffee is grown along steep slopes that extend all the way to Lake Atitlan, the largest and most famous volcanic lake in Guatemala. The coffee is strong, with an intoxicating aroma, sour taste and sweet taste. The coffee beans are full. 1,500 - 1,700

Among the three non-volcanic areas of Highland Huehue, it is the driest and highest area for producing single-grade coffee. Denango is currently the most rugged and remote part of Guatemala, where the dry, hot winds blowing into the mountains from the plains of El Salvador, Mexico, allow coffee to be grown at heights of up to 6,500 feet. The coffee beans in this region are full, fruity, and have a special sour flavor with a slight wine flavor. 1,500 - 2,000

Fraijanes Plateau The volcanoes in this area are quite high and the soil is rich in pumice. The Fraijanes Plain is still an active volcanic area, so the coffee in this area has similar characteristics to Antigua. However, abundant rainfall, high and variable humidity, and wide temperature differences give Farrahanis a very different flavor with a rather elegant aroma, mild and full-bodied overall texture, with a special and pleasant acidity 1,400 - 1,800

new Oriental

New Oriente has abundant rainfall and similar climate to Cobain, but New Oriente is a volcanic area with a large amount of metamorphic rocks in the soil. Coffee cultivation is also quite different from typical volcanic areas of Guatemala. New Oriental coffee grows in volcanic soils without volcanic activity during growth. It is the latest coffee growing area in Guatemala and is characterized by aroma, obvious acidity and quite good texture. 1,300 - 1,700
