Guatemala

Why do Guatemalan coffee beans are called aristocrats among coffee beans?

Guatemalan coffee beans enjoy the reputation of the highest quality coffee beans in the world, just like the aristocratic look of coffee beans. Starbucks coffee also uses Guatemalan coffee beans. Why are Guatemalan coffee beans called aristocrats? this has something to do with the origin of Guatemalan coffee beans.

Guatemalan coffee beans, produced in Guatemala, belong to bourbon coffee beans and are one of the more sour varieties.

Taste characteristics: bitter and fragrant, good taste.

Guatemala is a coffee producing area that can not be ignored and is a typical representative of coffee flavor diversity. SHB (hardest bean) in Guatemala is almost a well-known synonym for high-quality coffee. This is because there are more than 300 kinds of microclimate, high mountains, the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, huge volcanic lakes, Mexican plains and rich geoclimatic resources.

Slightly sour, mellow and smooth, it is the best material for mixed coffee. The classification is divided into seven grades according to the elevation. The higher the origin, the more mellow the coffee beans are, while the coffee beans from the lower areas are of lower quality.

Altitude level: like many other Central American countries, Guatemala has its own altitude level for coffee growth. The higher the altitude, the slower the growth and maturity. Therefore, the higher the density of raw beans, the higher the quality.

Prime: 750m-900m above sea level

Extra Prime: 900m-1050 m above sea level

Semi Hard Bean: 1050 m-1220 m above sea level

Hard Bean (HB): planted at 1220 m-1300 m above sea level

Strictly Hard Bean (SHB): planted more than 1300 meters above sea level

Guatemala-the nutrient-rich pozzolanic soil, high altitude and relatively low average temperature of the San Pero Manor in Attilan, Guatemala, give the coffee a clean sweet taste and bright acidity. The soil of Attland is rich in organic matter, and what impresses me most about this white honey is the juicy taste of longan, which is very soft and smooth, which is very different from the smoky taste of Guatemala.
