Antigua-Santa Clara Manor, Guatemala

Antigua, Guatemala, an old city, is close to the capital and is a tourist attraction. Coffee also began in this city. A few years ago, most people in Antigua were attracted by its fine smoky smell, so the price was higher than that in other producing areas.

High demand and low supply have caused nearby towns to sell Antigua coffee, and then the good and the bad must have caused users to lose confidence in him, with a small amount of large demand regardless of quality under price. Coupled with the rise of Vivette Nanguo Highlands in the northwest, it is a heavy blow.

In view of this, the Guatemalan Coffee Association (Anna Coffee Association) divides Guatemala into eight producing areas, and the association provides information about each producing area, flavor trend, century-old hydrology, making it easier for buyers to distinguish between purchases and marketing stories.

Santa Clara Farm in Antigua has grown coffee with its family for more than 100 years, and this famous family farm is one of the few estates that actually grow Antigua coffee throughout Guatemala.

With its unique volcanic valley topography, strict farm management and careful selection of suitable varieties, coffee must be shaded by trees, so trees can protect coffee from direct sunlight and become an important habitat for birds and insects.

Family-style treatment plants are also very environmentally friendly, and the water used in coffee treatment is discharged into a sedimentation tank and mixed with leaf coffee peel and pulp to compost and reuse it back to the farm.
