"Guadi" is a nickname given to Guatemala by coffee lovers. The Mayan town sits on top of 37 volcanoes, two of which erupted in 2010. Coupled with frequent tornadoes and natural disasters everywhere, it is a veritable "dangerous place". However, fertile volcanic soil, undulating mountains and changeable microclimate are ideal conditions for growing coffee. As of 2011, Guatemala was the country with the highest coffee production in Central America.

The name "Koban" comes from the "Cob class An" in the Q eqchi language, which means "foggy place".

Koban production area, a perfect producing area with steep mountains, green rain forest and charming flower scent, including unspoiled natural environment and unique micro-climate. The contrast between the high-altitude mountains and the high-humidity tropical rain forest always surrounds the place with a thick mist formed by the fall of dense clouds. There are two seasons in the section: the rainy season and the rainy season with more rain. The annual rainfall here is the second highest in all coffee producing areas in Guatemala, with the heaviest rain from May to December. Most of the coffee in Koban rainforest is grown on special rolling hills and grows harmoniously with the rainforest made up of local natural trees.

Koban has always been the most rebellious family member of a large Guatemalan family-jumping out of the previous framework of Guatemalan coffee with nuts and chocolate as the main axis, but with rich tropical fruit tonality. In the early days, due to the high humidity and uneven harvest season, it was difficult to enter the boutique coffee hall under the disadvantage; now Vista Beauty Manor introduces technology and attaches importance to quality, which greatly improves the cleanliness and consistency of coffee flavor.

Vista Beauty Manor was one of the first estates to be cultivated in the Koban region, where German immigrants reclaimed it and brought advanced coffee cultivation technology to Guatemala. Located in the depths of the cloud-shrouded forest in the Koban producing area, the drizzle never stops due to the climate of the northern Peten rainforest. The non-volcanic clay gives the Koban region a very unique and fruity flavor, which is different from that of all other Guatemalan regions.
