When it comes to Guatemalan coffee, Vivette Nanguo and Antigua are the most familiar. This Guayapo coffee does not come from these two famous producing areas, and its estate is located in the New Oriente region of Guatemala.

The New Oriental District is the newest of the major coffee producing areas in Guatemala. In ancient times, it was a volcanic area, where the soil was made up of metamorphic rocks, so it was rich in minerals. The New Oriental District used to be the poorest area in Guatemala before it began to grow coffee. Since the 1950s, farmers in the mountains have started growing coffee on the natural, nutritious land here. Gradually, it has become a rising star in the Guatemalan coffee industry.

"Guayabo" is the transliteration of Spanish, which actually means "the plain of guava". The name is mainly because it is really rich in guava. The estate is about a five-hour drive from the capital of Guatemala and is an impressively dry area. The owner of the manor is Mr. Benjamin Donado, who is in his sixties. The old man began to grow coffee in 1990, and the planting area has expanded from 28 hectares to 72 hectares now.

It doesn't sound special, but it's actually not as easy as it says, because the whole Guayabo coffee farm is built on a steep slope, with a minimum elevation of 1400 meters, and then rugged all the way up to more than 1600 meters, because it's too steep. everyone thought it was impossible to grow coffee under such conditions, but Mr. Donado had extraordinary physical fitness and great enthusiasm for coffee. Successfully planted a remarkable amount of good coffee.

The varieties of Guatemalan coffee are mainly bourbon, Tibika, Kaduai and Kaddura, and there will also be a small amount of yellow bourbon, Rosa and Pacamara. The varieties are quite diverse, but it is commendable to retain the ancient Tibica and bourbon. We can see Kaduai, Katim, bourbon and Pacamara species in Guayabo Manor.

This time, I recommend this kind of bourbon. I still remember the first time I tasted it. I remember tasting beans together with my colleagues during that period of time. I drank several Guatemalan beans in succession, with the same origin and similar style, and everyone was a little stuffy. When Guayabo of this red wine treatment appeared, it obviously made me feel different. The first thing that caught me was its aroma. Guatemalan coffee beans are famous for their aroma.

Most people who like dangerous Horse Coffee are attracted by its mysterious smoky smell. This melon Arbury is not very smoky, but it has a strong sweet aroma of roasted almonds. Drink it slowly, and many flavors are included in it, including cherry fruit, cinnamon and taffy. The acidity is delicate and changeable, as sour and sweet as wine, because it is the reason of red wine treatment, it has a very comfortable taste, especially clean and smooth, mellow thickness is still good in the finish, with chocolate nuts sweet. Draw a perfect end to this Guayabo.
