Antigua-Urias Farm in Guatemala

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, Catuai, 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 producing alpine hard beans (SHB) are: Arcatel Nango Valley (the Acatenango valley), Antigua (Antigua), Attilan (Atitlan), Koban Rain Forest (Coban), Farrakhan Nice Plain (the Fraijanes plateau), Vivienne Nango (Huehuetenango), New Oriental (Nuevo Oriente), 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.

Located in the coffee-producing area of Antigua, the valley is rich in volcanic soil, low humidity and a lot of sunlight, and its volcanic pumice is well drained. Coupled with the fine shade of coffee plants, the 113-hectare reserve provides a sanctuary for local wild birds and animals.
