Although the country is small, it has the most diverse climate in the world. There are enough changes in soil, rainfall, humidity, altitude and temperature to produce seven different types of Guatemalan Arabica coffee.

Antigua

Antigua is an internationally renowned high-quality coffee. This area is located between three volcanoes in a valley and the climate is very suitable for growing coffee. The soil is young and most suitable for coffee. Wet and dry seasons are defined as uniform ripening. The temperature range is 19-22 ℃ (66.2-71.6 °F) and the altitude is between 4600 and 5600 feet. The annual rainfall is between 800mm and 1200 mm, and the humidity is constant at 65%. Guardia Antigua Coffee is described as having a full and velvety body, rich and lively aroma, and good acidity. Bourbon, Catra and Cato coffee beans are grown in this area and are harvested every year from January to mid-March.

Fraijanes plateau

The Fraijanes area is located to the north of Lake Amatitlan, a mountain range near the Ermita Valley where the city of Guatemala is located. The soil is volcanic, and high potassium levels put the body on the cup. Recent volcanic activity from Volcan de Pacaya has stored mineral-rich ash in the area. Coffee is grown at a height of between 4000 and 5000 feet, with a medium temperature of 22C (71.6 °F). The relative humidity of these peaks is 60%, and the annual rainfall is 1500 mm. The combination of these factors gives strict Guatemalan coffee beans (the highest rating in Guatemala), similar to the real Guatemala Antigua coffee. These coffees are described as having a soft aroma, full body and obvious acidity.
