Is there a variety of SL34 coffee in Guatemala? What are the flavor characteristics?

Guatemala is one of the most important coffee producing countries in Central America, with long mountains and different regional climates, thus creating eight major coffee producing areas in Guatemala, all located on the highland topography of the subtropical climate, with abundant and stable rainfall. The fertile volcanic ash soil is an excellent environment for coffee trees to grow. Plan del Guayabo is located next to the Volc á n de Sucht á n volcano, which means "guava plain" in Spanish. It is named because of the large number of guava trees planted locally. The owner of the manor is Benjamin Donado (Mr. Benjam í n Donado). The Donado family has been engaged in coffee production for more than 20 years since 1990. Before that, local farmers were quite strange to coffee production, and it was hard to imagine planting coffee trees in such a steep and high altitude environment, but now it has been proved that Benjamin made the right choice to specialize in producing high-quality coffee beans with different varieties and different processing methods.

The SL28 variety is extremely rare in Central America. It originated from Lake Tanganyika in East Africa. It was discovered in 1931. It has broad and reddish leaves, can adapt to a fairly high altitude environment, and has excellent drought and disease resistance. Its yield is also higher than that of traditional tree species, and its flavor is unique. In 1935, the Scott Coffee Laboratory Scott Laboratory named the variety SL,28 after the initial letter of the laboratory, which was the serial number of screening, and then it was planted in Kenya in large quantities. At present, there are only a few manors with both strength and experience in Central American countries.
