Front Street Coffee-Antigua, Guatemala, Pacamara introduction

Guatemala is bordered by Mexico to the north, Honduras and El Salvador to the south, the Caribbean to the east and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. It is only three times the size of Taiwan Island, but it is blessed by nature to rely on mountains and water, with tropical rain forests, volcanic geology, plateau canyons and changeable microclimate. Guatemala is home to more than 300 microclimates, making it the largest in the world. Antigua is located in the ancient city of Antigua, 45 kilometers southwest of Guatemala. Right between Attland and Guatemala City, about 1500-1700 meters above sea level, it is the most famous producing area in Guatemala and has the highest award rate.

Antigua is a famous coffee producer in Guatemala. Rich volcanic soil, low humidity, strong sunlight and cool night breezes are characteristic of Antigua. Antigua is a flat highland surrounded by three spectacular active volcanoes, Agua, Acetenago and Fuego. Rain Water is less, fortunately, volcanic activity is frequent, resulting in a large number of light stones in the soil (many soft pores), which is easy to maintain moisture and humidity. It keeps the humidity of Antigua at 65% all the year round, overcoming the problem of lack of rain. Volcanic activity also provides more nitrogen to already fertile land. Antigua has a large temperature difference between day and night, which is conducive to the development of fruit aroma, but occasionally Frosts Descent in winter is not conducive to the growth of coffee. In order to reduce frost damage, coffee estates in Antigua have high-density shade trees to form an insulation film so that coffee trees will not be frostbitten. The fertile soil, moisturizing light stone and dense shade trees make up Antigua's unique microclimate. And then give birth to a very balanced coffee flavor.

This Pacamara on the front street is from the Blueberry Manor in the New Oriental region of Guatemala.

Blueberry Manor has shown great strength in various competitions in recent years, and its Pacamara won the third place in COE in 2018! When testing blueberry Pacamara, you can feel that this bean has obvious sour notes of virgin fruit, berry, raspberry and orange, as well as the flavor of cream, almond, vanilla and honey.
