An introduction to the characteristics of coffee in Akanan fruit producing area of Guatemala and the taste characteristics of Guatemalan flower god

Guatemala is a big coffee producer in Central America, ranking eighth in the world in terms of output. Guatemala, whose name comes from the Mayan language, means "country of the forest", thelandofmanytrees. Located in Central America, it is known as "the pearl in the crown of China and the United States". Although Guatemala has a limited land area, it has a rich and diverse climate. A country famous for its lakes and volcanoes, with volcanic soil, precipitation, temperature, humidity and altitude, Guatemala has a natural environment suitable for coffee growth.

Guatemala is famous for producing fruity coffee beans and was rated as the largest coffee producer in Central America for most of the 20th and 21st centuries. Among them, Antigua is a famous producing area of coffee. Rich volcanic soil, low humidity and strong sunlight are the characteristics of Antigua. Three active volcanoes, ── Agua, Jacques 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 Alpka, which is not only of good quality, but also quite complete when compared with other Latin American coffees. Guatemala Antigua coffee is also called "cigarette coffee" because of its rich and rich taste and unique charcoal-burning flavor.

The Akernango region, which refers to the Acatenango Cooperative, is located in the valley of the Akanango volcano in the Akanango region of the Chimaltenango province of Guatemala, which is also named for its proximity to the volcano.

The Akernango Cooperative is also one of the earliest cooperatives in the region.

Geographically, the warm sea breeze from the Pacific keeps the region away from the threat of Frosts Descent, and the rainfall is rich and stable. In addition, the dense forests in the valley can not only maintain appropriate humidity, but also shield coffee trees from the strong sun. Planting at an altitude of 1200 meters, with a large day-night temperature difference unique to high-altitude areas, coupled with fertile volcanic ash soil, these factors create a natural excellent geographical environment.

The coffee beans purchased by the Akernango Cooperative are mainly coffee grown by the members themselves, and it is understood that each member produces an average of 30 packets of raw coffee beans (69 kg / packet) in a single production season. At present, the cooperative has a total of 293 people (221men and 72 women), supplying about 9000 packages a year and contracting more than 30 containers.
