When it comes to coffee in Guatemala, the most familiar are Vivitenango and Antigua. This Guayabo coffee does not come from these two famous producing areas. Its estate is located in the New Oriente district of Guatemala.

New Oriental is the newest of Guatemala's major coffee producing regions. In ancient times it was a volcanic area, where the soil is composed of metamorphic rocks, so it is rich in minerals. The New Oriental district was once the poorest part of Guatemala before coffee was grown. Since the 1950s, farmers in the mountains have grown coffee on natural, nutritious land. Gradually, it has become a rising star in Guatemala coffee farming.

Guayabo is a Spanish transliteration that actually means "plain of guavas," a name given mainly because guavas are so abundant here. The estate is about five hours from the capital of Guatemala and is an impressively dry area. The estate is owned by Mr. Benjamin Donado, who is in his 60s. He started growing coffee in 1990 and has grown from 28 hectares to 72 hectares.

It sounds like nothing special, but it is not as easy as it sounds, because the whole Guayabo coffee farm is built on a steep slope, the lowest altitude is 1400 meters, and then all the way up to more than 1600 meters. Because it is too steep, everyone thinks that it is impossible to grow coffee under such conditions, but Mr. Donado has succeeded in growing remarkable coffee with extraordinary physical strength and great enthusiasm for coffee.

Guatemala coffee varieties to Bourbon, Tibica, Carduai, Cadura dominated, there will also be a small number of yellow Bourbon, rose summer and pacamara, varieties are quite diverse, but to retain the ancient Tibica and Bourbon, it is valuable. We can find kaduai, katim, bourbon and pakamala species in guayabo estate.

This time, I recommend this kind of bourbon. I still remember the first time I tasted it. I remember trying the sample beans with my colleagues at that time. I drank several kinds of Guatemala beans in succession. They were of the same origin and basically similar style. Everyone drank a little stuffy. When this red wine processing method of Guayabo appeared, it obviously made me feel different. The first thing that caught me was its aroma. Guatemala coffee beans are famous for their aroma.

Most people who like dangerous horse coffee are attracted by its mysterious smoky taste. This melon is not smoky, but it has a strong sweet smell of roasted almonds. Drink slowly. Many flavors are contained in it, cherry fruit, cinnamon, toffee... The acidity is delicate and varied, as sweet and sour as wine, because it is the reason for the red wine treatment method, it has a very comfortable taste, especially clean and smooth, the mellow finish is still good, with chocolate nuts sweet, for this melon to draw a perfect ending...
