Front Street-Antigua, Guatemala

Antigua Valley is Guatemala's oldest and best-known coffee-producing region. Volcanoes and shallow water tables create a dry microclimate characterized by low humidity, plenty of sun and cool nights.

Antigua is an enclosed valley surrounded by three volcanoes: Agua, Acatenango and Fuego. Antigua is flat and slightly sloping, unlike other coffee producing areas located in volcanic areas.

Most coffee trees are grown in the heart of the valley, but even so, elevation has reached 5000 feet; in addition, some farmers grow coffee on the slopes of volcanoes, which are close to 5600 feet above sea level.

The extremely high pumice content of Antigua soil (from the active Fuego volcano) keeps humidity constant at 65% year-round, which is very different from other volcanic coffee producing areas, where humidity usually varies greatly between dry and wet seasons. Fertile volcanic soils, low humidity, plenty of sunshine and cool nights all make Antigua unique.

Antigua is a famous coffee producer. Antigua coffee is produced at Hacienda Carmona, where the best quality coffee is EL Pulcal, which is not only good quality, but also richer in flavor, taste and tobacco flavor than other coffees in Guatemala.

Every 30 years or so, the area around Antigua is hit by a volcanic eruption, which provides more nitrogen to the already fertile land, and sufficient rainfall and sunshine make the area more suitable for growing coffee.

Guatemala coffee often occurs in two failed roasting conditions, one is the beans outside cooked, beans not cooked, so half-raw; the other is not easy to bake the beans through the heart, beans outside is burnt, so naturally there is a smoky taste.

Guatemalan coffee is grown in the Republic of Guatemala in northwestern Central America. The country's forest area accounts for two-thirds of the country's area, rich in high-quality coffee beans, its sour, mellow taste and slightly wild, can be used as a single drink or for the preparation of comprehensive coffee.

Knowledge: Guatemala has more than 300 microclimates throughout the country, which is the best in the world.
