The story of growing in Antigua, Guatemala? What are the flavor and taste characteristics of Bella Camona Manor?

Antigua, Bella Carmona, Guatemala, comes from a single farm in the traditional Antigua region of Guatemala. The village is surrounded by Agua, Fuego and Acatenango volcanoes. These three volcanoes provide the ideal climate and conditions for growing perfect coffee. Although the heat is high during the day in this area, the high temperature is completely eliminated by cool and dry nights at night.

The coffee here is grown on Hacienda Carmona. The farm is located on the slope south of the volcano Agua, at a height between 5200 and 6000 feet above sea level. And coffee trees are planted directly in the shade so that coffee trees can absorb proper sunlight. The average rainfall here is between 1800mm and 2300mm. Coffee is also grown in the most traditional way. The main varieties are Bourbon, Typica and Caturra.

The owner of the farm is owned by the Zelaya family and has been operating for four generations. Bella Carmona is a trademark that has won several awards throughout the history of coffee. The earliest one can be traced back to the Guatemala National Exhibition in 1935. The Zelaya family has always attached great importance to coffee quality. From the cultivation of coffee to the process of processing, there is quite strict management. In addition, the Zelaya family also attaches great importance to the maintenance of environmental ecology. All coffee plantations or processing plants are designed with environmental protection in mind.

In the treatment of coffee beans, after the mucous membrane of the coffee is removed, fermented and cleaned, it will be sent to the sun field to dry, until it is most suitable for moisture, the hemp agent will be carefully collected, and after a certain period of ripening, the parchment will be removed before export.
