Guatemala Bella Vista Farm Vista Beauty Manor, Guatemala

Introduction of Vista Beauty Manor

Vista Beauty Manor was one of the first estates to be cultivated in the Koban region, where German immigrants reclaimed it and brought advanced coffee cultivation technology to Guatemala. Located in the depths of the cloud-shrouded forest in the Koban producing area, the drizzle never stops due to the climate of the northern Peten rainforest. The non-volcanic clay gives the Koban region a very unique and fruity flavor, which is different from that of all other Guatemalan regions.

The significance of Coban in Koban Rain Forest

The name "Koban" comes from the "Cob class An" in the Q eqchi language, which means "foggy place".

Koban production area, a perfect producing area with steep mountains, green rain forest and charming flower scent, including an unspoiled natural environment and a unique micro-climate. The contrast between the high-altitude mountains and the high-humidity tropical rain forest always surrounds the area with a thick mist formed by the fall of dense clouds. There are two seasons in the section: the rainy season and the rainy season with more rain. The annual rainfall here is the second highest in all coffee producing areas in Guatemala, with the heaviest rain from May to December. Most of the coffee in Koban rainforest is grown on special rolling hills and grows harmoniously with the rainforest made up of local natural trees.

Koban has always been the most rebellious family member of a large Guatemalan family-jumping out of the previous framework of Guatemalan coffee with nuts and chocolate as the main axis, but with rich tropical fruit tonality. In the early days, due to the high humidity and uneven harvest season, it was difficult to enter the boutique coffee hall under the disadvantage; now Vista Beauty Manor introduces technology and attaches importance to quality, which greatly improves the cleanliness and consistency of coffee flavor. In this year's Vista Beauty Manor Coffee batch, you can taste the sweet and sour flavors of peaches, plums and preserves, and the warm fruit aromas and acid values of melons and fruits; this batch is specially recommended this year because of its high sweetness, fullness and full finish. It can be used as an excellent choice for boutique recipes. This coffee is picked 100% by hand in the Vista Beauty Manor and processed in the washing factory in the manor.

"Koban", a rain forest in central Guatemala, is surrounded by majestic peaks, with beautiful vegetation and flowers in full bloom. Guatemala is located in Central America, many volcanoes in the formation of mountains and plateaus, the production of high-quality Central American high-altitude very hard coffee beans, the world's ninth largest producer of coffee beans. There are seven major coffee producing areas in Guatemala, such as Antigua, Huehuetenango, Atitlan, Coban, Fraijanes, San Marcos and Acatenango.
