The Republic of Guatemala, commonly known as Guatemala, is located in Central America, bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Caribbean Sea to the east, Mexico to the north, Belize to the northeast, Honduras and El Salvador to the southeast.

Guatemala is located in Central America, its northern lowland plain Peten is a tropical rain forest, the central highlands have volcanoes of up to 4200 meters, and the narrow and fertile flatlands on the banks of the Pacific Ocean belong to a tropical climate.

The central plateau is also the cultural center of Guatemala. The plateau is about 1300 to 1800 meters above sea level. The temperature is mild throughout the year. During the day, the temperature is between 18 and 28 degrees Celsius. In higher places, January and February tend to be colder.

Guatemala is located in the subtropical climate of the highland terrain, rich and stable rainfall and fertile volcanic ash soil, such environmental conditions are ideal for coffee cultivation.

Guatemalan coffee has rich flavor changes and strong acidity, with the smell of flowers and fruits, and sometimes can feel the change of some spices, from medium to full consistency, high complexity, is the best representative of complex style. Excellent acidity and fruity aromas are smooth to the mouth

Located in Fraijanes and on the unique hillside of Palencia, this coffee producing area is shaped by volcanic pumice soil, high elevation, abundant Rain Water, variable humidity and an active volcano. The volcanoes in the Fahannis area are quite high above sea level and the soil is rich in pumice. The Farrakhan Plain is still an active volcano, so the coffee in this area is similar to that of Antigua. However, Rain Water's abundance, high and varied humidity, and large temperature difference give the Farrakhan Nice Plain a very different flavor.

Because of small-scale estates, farmers used to sell the coffee fruits picked to local sellers, and they resold the coffee to export companies.

Last year they received a loan to build a co-operative washing plant, and now have the ability to export directly to foreign customers.
