Kiche province, Guatemala-pony Oscar family farm

Coffee has helped Guatemala's economy in the past century. It is estimated that there are about 120000 coffee producers, accounting for 40% of agricultural exports. As many as 20 of 22 provinces are engaged in coffee cultivation. Almost all areas grow coffee beans, 98% are shaded by trees, and are almost monopolized by Arabica beans. The main sub-varieties are Bourbon, Tipica, Caturra, Catua í, Pache and Pacamara. Guatemala's high altitude and 300 different microclimates, coupled with stable rainfall and fertile soil rich in minerals, are ideal for coffee cultivation in Central America.

Since the early 1990s, Anacafe has taken the lead according to the characteristics of coffee, growth climate, soil quality and altitude. Eight different producing areas for the production of alpine hard beans (SHB) are: Arcatel Valley (the Acatenango valley), Antigua (Antigua), Attila (Atitl á n), Coban Rain Forest (Coban á n), Farrakhan Nice Plain (the Fraijanes plateau), Vicki Nango (Huehuetenango), New Oriental (Nuevo Oriente) and San Marcos volcanic area (San Marcos). The main harvest season is from December to March of the following year. Relatively high-altitude producing areas such as Vivette South fruit can be in April, as long as the harvest is completed, it will be shipped.

Sleeping Beauty Manor (Finca La Perla) is trying to wake up when the Finca Los Caballitos pony farm, also located in the green Ixil Triangle highlands of western Guatemala (Ixil is the commonly used Mayan language), comes to report. The pony farm has a fertile black loam, surrounded by three lagoons, abundant water resources and magnificent mountains. The Oscar family bought the land, they started from scratch, this batch of beans is just beginning to fit the harvest, very young. Cherries are hand-picked fully ripe beans for immediate treatment, immediately remove the peel and pulp on their own farm, fully soak and ferment, and then dry in the sunny courtyard! This is close to the way of honey treatment or the method of emerald manor.
