Since Guatemala became independent in 1838, the Spanish introduced coffee into Guatemala. They took advantage of the industrious characteristics of the local Mayan people and the low labor force to produce cheap coffee for the whole Latin America. This phenomenon did not occur until the 1970s. After World War II, German businessmen once again vigorously promoted Guatemala coffee for sale in Germany and carried it forward. Before World War II, 60% of Guatemala's coffee production was exported to Germany.

But in 1942 Guatemala, allied with the United States, formally declared war on Axis Germany and confiscated all German coffee plantations in Guatemala at the time. In the 1950s, with the assistance of coffee experts in the United States, these confiscated small plantations were divided into small units and distributed to small coffee farmers working on the farms.

Guatemala is located in the Central American Isthmus, where many volcanoes form mountains and plateaus, producing high-quality Central American high-altitude very hard coffee beans, ranking as the ninth largest producer of coffee beans in the world. Guatemala coffee producing areas are Antigua, Huehuetenango, Atitlan, Coban, Fraijanes, San Marcos, Acatenango and other seven major producing areas.
