Antigua producing area

Introduction Huasen is a brand bean of La minita, which is located in Antigua, Guatemala. It is a highland surrounded by active volcanoes and is the most award-winning and famous producing area in the country at 1850 meters above sea level.

Antigua has little rainfall in summer and occasionally frosts because it is too cold in winter, which is actually not suitable for the growth of coffee trees, but fortunately it is located in the active volcanic zone. After the volcanic light stone falls into the soil after cooling, because these light stones have many fine holes, they are very easy to moisturize. In addition, a large number of shade trees are planted in the manor, so that coffee trees will not suffer cold damage in winter, these factors to overcome adverse conditions. Coupled with the great temperature difference between day and night, Antigua forms a unique micro-climate, making the coffee beans here have a light smoky flavor and strong fruity aroma.

Raminita is famous for its excellent planting, processing technology and extremely strict quality control. according to such standards, they entrust Las Pastores, the largest water washing plant in Antigua, to handle raw beans and name the coffee beans Hua Shen. in addition to retaining the original flavor of the producing areas, the dry aroma has a strong aroma of flowers and tea. after the entrance, the sour and raspberry aromas of lime are converted to the aftertaste of honey. Excellent cleanliness and rich sense of hierarchy are the characteristics of this flower god.

Raminita Manor does not use pesticides, and because of Raminita's geographical advantages of the climate and altitude, the location limits the number of pests, a small number of pests will not have much impact on coffee trees. At the end of the rainy season, the coffee fruit will soon ripen, and the green fruit will begin to turn red, but the coffee fruit ripens very slowly and unevenly, not as quickly and consistently as flowering, so the harvest must be handled more carefully. harvest only crimson fruits that are fully ripe. The fruit of a tree will be harvested up to five times due to maturity. Raminita conducts soil tests twice a year to determine how to apply fertilizer, and La Minita is very careful when using products that increase yield, about three times a year.

In addition, the application of trace elements such as zinc, boron and copper can provide more nutrients for coffee trees and prevent diseases. Such scientific cultivation and management has created the excellent performance of Huashen coffee flavor and the reputation of the same quality for several years. In accordance with La Minita's famous gatekeeper procedures, strictly supervise the whole process of Huashen coffee from planting to packaging, these complicated procedures are to ensure that the Pastores processing plant provides the best quality, and strict control of the manor's standard operating procedures. The Antigua producing area itself is the most famous of the seven major producing areas in Guatemala, with high altitude, unique volcanic soil and shade planting, so the coffee beans in the Antigua region have a unique flavor.
