Another crystallization was nurtured in the land of wisdom that gave birth to the Mayan civilization: Guatemalan coffee.

A cup of Antigua coffee in Guatemala seems to let us see the sudden disappearance of the mysterious Mayans multiply in the ancient land, history brushed away their existence, history has achieved their eternity.

If a person's wrinkles depict a person's path, then the smell of coffee remembers the origin of a cup of coffee: about its hometown, the time of harvest, the way it is roasted and ground, that is, the lifetime journey of coffee. Guatemala's fertile volcanic soil gives birth to a unique flavor of boutique coffee beans: Antigua coffee. The charm of Antigua lies in its balanced and refreshing acidity, rich spice and unique smoky taste, as if to tell us about the desolate history of Antigua in Guatemala.

The aroma of coffee liberates all forms, hearts and national boundaries. Through coffee, the mood leaves the country at any time and lands in a strange country half a world away. Even at the end of the world, you can share a mood. Antigua was the capital of the Spanish colonial period in 1543. Although this emerald-like valley has been surrounded by active volcanoes in all directions, layered, deliberately waiting and full of dangers since ancient times, its vastness, vastness and fertility still tempted Spaniards to build a capital in the precarious cliff valley.

The volcano once destroyed the once-prosperous capital in an instant, robbing it of all its prosperity and beauty overnight. After this subversive mountain city, the splendor has disappeared for more than 200 years, and Antigua has never swaggered again. After being dull, Antigua is now run by the last remaining Indians. These hardworking Indians became later coffee producers. They not only discovered the rich and attractive unique smell of Antigua coffee, but also brought it to people all over the world. Today, Antigua coffee enjoys a reputation as the best quality coffee in the world and is praised by coffee connoisseurs as the best and most distinctive coffee in the world.
