Guatemala Antigua (Antigua) coffee

Antigua coffee is characterized by tobacco aroma. Some people say that you will see a wonderful story in the unique smoky taste of a cup of Antigua coffee in Guatemala. It is a story about the Mayans.

Drinking pure Antigua coffee from Guatemala, our thoughts can be pulled far away as far as we have never seen each other before. The wise Mayans who once existed in the land of Guatemala, after a day's work under coffee trees we have never seen before, they enjoyed authentic Guatemalan coffee after dinner and watched the sunset fade away on the sea level.

Most coffee growers in Guatemala can be seen as descendants of the Mayans, and they like to be called that. Guatemalan coffee has a strong aroma, even if you don't drink it, just smelling it is already a pleasure. Antigua coffee has a rich and velvety mellow, rich and lively aroma, and fine sour taste. When the attractive fragrance lingers on the tip of your tongue, there is an indescribable mystery. You may feel dull at the first sip, but as the coffee cools down, you will find it slightly sweet and be surprised by its depth.

First, flavor and taste characteristics: full-bodied, rich taste, with tobacco flavor. The palate is soft and smooth, with a slightly charcoal-burning flavor in the mellow, as if the sweetness of chocolate is mixed with smoke. Because of this unique charcoal incense, Antigua coffee is also known as "cigarette coffee".

Antigua Island (Antigua) is a famous producer of coffee. Rich volcanic soil, low humidity, strong sunlight and cool night breeze are the characteristics of Antigua. Three spectacular active volcanoes, Agua, Acatenango and Fuego, form a beautiful valley. Every 30 years or so, the area near Antigua is hit by a volcanic eruption, which provides more nitrogen to the already fertile land, and plenty of rainfall and sunlight make the place more suitable for growing coffee.

Antigua coffee is produced in Camana Manor, where the best quality coffee is ELPulcal, which is not only of good quality, but also, when compared with other Latin American coffees, this coffee is quite complete, rich and astonishing, and you will find it unexpected if you enjoy it with chocolate.
