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 and 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 Suchitn volcano, which means "guava plain" in Spanish. It is named because of the large number of guava trees planted locally. The estate is owned by Benjamin Donado (Mr. Benjam í n Donado). The Donado family has been engaged in coffee production since 1990 and has been producing coffee for more than 20 years. Before that, local farmers were so strange to coffee production that 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 produce high-quality, exquisite Guatemalan coffee beans with different varieties and different processing methods.

In the early New Oriente region of Guatemala, it was common for berry buyers to regularly buy coffee cherries from farmers and then resell them to larger middlemen, where they were resold to the town of Esquipulas, where they were mixed with other batches to form a large batch of SHB that could not be traced back, and finally sold around the world under the name New Oriental (New Oriente). In view of this, more and more international raw bean traders are trying to change this situation, working with local partners to produce Guatemalan coffee beans with excellent flavor and traceable origin, breaking the traditional vicious circle. Guava Plain Manor is one of the important members.

The name New Oriental is located in the easternmost part of Guatemala. Unlike Antigua, which is less than an hour's drive from the capital, New Oriental has to drive straight to the easternmost border with Honduras. Plan del Guayabo is located next to the Volc á n de Sucht á n volcano, which means "guava plain" in Spanish. The manor is owned by Benjamin Donado (Mr. Benjam í n Donado), which means "guava plain" in Spanish. The Donado family has been engaged in coffee production for more than 20 years since 1990. Last year, a small amount of washed SL28 was produced in the guava plain, but this year, in cooperation with traders, new batches of sun-dried wine with unique flavor have been added. When cooperating with traders in this series, we have also communicated on the spot about the harvest standards and sun treatment methods (such as turning and drying days). From the results, it can be said to be a very happy harvest. In particular, SL28 is still a rare variety in Central America.

SL28, which originated from Lake Tanganyika in East Africa, was discovered in 1931. It has broad and reddish leaves, can adapt to high altitude environment, and has excellent drought and disease resistance. Its yield is higher than that of traditional tree species, and its flavor is unique. Wine sun flavor: pineapple, cantaloupe, dried apricot, sugared lemon peel, Bordeaux wine, green tea and cinnamon spices, full of sweetness and smoked plum aromas.

Each region has its own climate change, so the coffee beans in each region have their own characteristics, but to sum up, Guatemalan coffee beans show a mild and mellow overall texture and elegant aromas. and with similar fruit acid and other hot and pleasant acidity, has become the aristocracy of coffee.
