Guatemala Antigua Volcanes Estate Bean

Different from the coffee beans produced in other Central American countries, the flavor of coffee beans is relatively clean. Guatemala coffee varies more due to different styles of origin. The capital Antigua and the northwest Vivienne South Fruit Plateau are the two major producing areas. These two producing areas account for the impression of Manchu people on Guatemala coffee. Antigua coffee has better concentration and light smoky flavor, while Vivienne South Fruit Plateau is characterized by citrus sweetness and fine fruit acid. Coffee grows in the cloud belt at high altitude. The climatic conditions such as the large temperature difference between morning and evening make coffee grow not too fast (because coffee grows too fast and makes coffee softer and more bland), and the natural environment such as fertile volcanic soil makes coffee growing conditions the most ideal in Central America.

Most of the high-quality coffee comes from small, small-yield fine estates and organic farms certified by the International Coffee Organization Association. Coffee farmers will not be eliminated unless they cultivate and produce high-quality coffee beans pragmatically, otherwise they will easily become the object of exploitation by large traders. Poor quality, large-scale cultivation and low purchase price will gradually become coffee tenants exploited by traders. This will not be good Guatemala coffee.

volkens (Volcanes) Estate is a small excellent coffee farm located in the southwest of Antigua, the capital, facing the Atlantic Ocean. The coffee beans are small because coffee grows on volcanic terrain at an altitude of 5000~ 5700 feet, so the growth speed is slow and the color is olive green. The proportion of defective beans selected by hand is 6%. The weight loss ratio of roasted to lightly roasted coffee beans is 14%. The proportion of empty beans and defective beans is 6%. It is a traditional coffee bean of Antigua, Guatemala. Smooth with a slight smoky taste, Volcanes Estate beans are a very safe coffee bean that friends will love.

Light Roasted City: Volcanes Estate beans are alpine volcanic beans because the beans are slightly smaller but firm and dehydrated. They do enter the first explosion with a faster heating curve. The purpose is to obtain the most abundant special lavender tea fragrance and fine and smooth orange acid. Compared with other Central American beans, the taste is more complex. The aftertaste of tropical fruit sweetness is obvious.

Heavy Roast (Normal C): After grinding beans, the aroma of (dry) hazelnut chocolate chiffon cake, after brewing, the sweetness of sweet potato preserves, the rich taste of maltose, the aroma of hazelnut sesame and the characteristic smoky flavor of Antigua coffee beans continue in the mouth.

Guatemala is the most distinctive of Central American coffee producers. Unlike Costa Rica, which is clean and bright, or El Salvador, which is mellow and sweet, Guatemala coffee is unique in that it has a particularly heavy floral aroma when lightly roasted and a thick and complex taste when heavily roasted.
