In Antigua, Guatemala, I met the Flower God in spring.

Elegant white coffee blossoms bloom in Guatemala-Antiqua, the most famous of the seven major producing areas. The unique volcanic fertile soil provides rich nourishment for coffee trees, and the volcanic pumice is full of moisture, giving it the moisture needed for its growth. Combined with high-altitude shade planting, it finally produces the delicate beauty of the coffee flower (La Flor Del Cafe). The flower god locks the eternal spring in the coffee beans, so that your first taste is full of fragrant flowers.

The aroma of flowers and fruits is baked in the middle, and the fragrance of tea is strong in the aftertaste.

The beauty of the flower god of Antigua makes you want to write a poem of praise, with clean and bright as the main body, releasing all the rich rhyme flowers, slightly sour and slightly sweet, weaving a rich flavor, like perfume in front, middle and back notes. To the benefit of the coke roast timely reveals the flower spirit, making people infatuated with the fragrance of fruit and grass, the long afterrhyme is warm green tea, the sweetness that has dived into the heart and climbed back to the throat The Zen meaning of tea is not tea, and the whole mind is clear.

La Flor del Cafe

It literally means "Coffee Flower". It comes from the high altitude in the center of the volcanic area of Antigua. In particular, La Flor del Cafe is provided by the famous Costa Rican "La Minita" estate with the highest standard of planting and processing technology, and directly sends special personnel to Guatemala to participate in quality control. And commissioned Antigua District's largest and best-equipped Bastol washing plant (Pastores mill) to do a high standard of post-harvest treatment, so it is not surprising that this bean has an extraordinary excellent performance!

During grinding, it blossoms with the unique floral aroma and full fruit sweetness of high-altitude excellent coffee. Sipping the entrance, it first displays the fragrance and sweetness of citrus and mulberry fruit tea, which is more sweet than the beans in Huehuetenango, which is famous for its fruity aroma. Light roasted to show bright and clean fruit acid, similar to Yirgacheffe floral aroma and red wine finish, as well as a very light tobacco flavor. The complexity is high and the taste (body) is moderately thin. The flavor is very different from the common Antigua volcanic area coffee. It is difficult to find similar high-quality Antigua coffee beans in the boutique coffee market, with such a strong floral flavor and refreshing non-sticky taste. Raminita Manor provides technical support!

Huashen belongs to the brand beans of Laminita Group, whose language is La Flor del Cafe, produced by Las Pastores beneficio, a well-known processing plant in Antigua.

Starting from this year (2007), at the seams of sacks, there are La Minita tags on all cars to declare [sovereignty] and show that for a bean under the group, at least, the handling and quality control of raw beans is definitely the best choice, and the rest can only pray for more help from the micro climate of that year.

Antigua coffee producing areas are the most famous among the seven largest producing areas in the country, mainly because they are all located in volcanic areas and have high terrain, and unlike other producing areas, which are more or less blown by sea breezes or the high humidity air of the Great Lakes region, Antigua's unique micro-geography forms its unique flavor:

(1) Multi-functional volcanic fertile soil: there are three major volcanoes Acatenango in Antigua (at present, this volcano is the eighth producing area of Guatemala), Fuego and Agua Volcanoes. Among them, Fuego- is an active volcano, and its active ability brings to the coffee area of Antigua in addition to the fertile fiery soil, as well as unique volcanic pumice. She is the coolant after the eruption of volcanic magma, has the properties of porosity and thermal insulation, and is very suitable for moisturizing in the soil, because Antigua is the seven major producing areas with the least rainfall, coffee growth needs enough water, and the moisturizing capacity of volcanic pumice here happens to make up for the lack of rainfall. At the same time, the coffee fruit has a unique flavor of the producing area.

(2) High-density shading trees: in addition to shading, it can also prevent frost damage and form a unique microclimate. Due to the cold night, there will be occasional frost damage in Andigua area from December to February, when the high-density shading trees will exert their effect. avoid coffee frost, at the same time, the groundwater level in Andigua area is not deep, these shade trees are easy to absorb water and form a micro climate suitable for plant growth with the surrounding coffee trees.

(3) the sharp temperature difference between day and night is of great help to the sweetness and unique flavor of coffee berries.

(4) High altitude: for coffee trees growing at high altitude, the beans are hard, the aroma of coffee is higher, and the flavor is more prominent.

Huashen is produced by this processing factory of Las Pastores, and the brand belongs to Raminita Group. Under the control of raw beans and cup testing by quality control personnel, Huashen has established a set of strict procedures from purchasing cherry fruits to washing, sun drying and drying, and should also follow Raminita's famous strict selection procedure for raw beans. Finally enjoy a certain reputation under the quality control requirements and monitoring of La Minita.
