Located in Central America, Guatemala is the sixth largest coffee producer in the world, and coffee has always been the lifeblood of Guatemala's economy, and half of the work force in the country is agricultural workers.

There are eight coffee producing areas in Guatemala, which have tropical rain forests, volcanic geology, plateau valleys and more than 300 kinds of microclimates intertwined with the neighboring Atlantic and Pacific oceans, thus creating a unique flavor in different regions. Among them, the coffee from Antigua and Highland Huehue is the most famous.

ANTIGUA

Antigua is probably the best-known coffee producing region in Guatemala, as well as one of the best-known countries. The area, named Antigua, is home to famous Spanish buildings and UNESCO World Heritage sites. Because the market was previously flooded with pirated coffee beans that devalued Antigua coffee, the coffee beans in the area were originally named "authentic Antigua Coffee" in 2000. However, this has not completely curbed the pirated coffee beans imported from abroad and processed locally. In spite of this, in addition to those overpriced fakes, coffee beans of good quality and worth tracing, as well as coffee beans that do come from Antigua, can be traced back to the source.

Fertile volcanic soil, low humidity, sufficient sunshine and cool evening breeze are the characteristics of this area. The area is surrounded by three volcanoes. Whenever the Fuego volcano erupts, the mineral-rich ash mixes with the soil to make up for the lack of rainfall and gives the coffee a special smoky aroma.

Coffee flavor: sweet and sour balance, unique cocoa aroma. It is generally mentioned that the standard acidity of Guatemala is based on this area.

Antigua (Antigua) is also a famous producer of coffee. Antigua coffee is produced in Hacienda Carmona, where the best quality coffee is EL Pulcal, which is not only of good quality, but also has a stronger flavor, richer taste and stronger tobacco flavor than other Guatemalan coffees. Every 30 years or so, the area near Antigua is hit by a volcanic eruption, which provides more nitrogen to the already fertile land, and plenty of rainfall and sunlight make the place more suitable for growing coffee. Other coffee producers include San Marco, Oriente & Coban, Palcya, Mataquescuintia and LaUman in Zacapa. The establishment of the Special Coffee Association means that the Guatemalan government has begun to pay attention to high-quality coffee, and the efforts made for it will soon bear fruit.
