The Republic of Guatemala (Spanish: República de Guatemala) is a presidential republic in Central America, located in the southern part of the North American continent. It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean in the west, the Caribbean Sea in the east, Mexico in the north, Belize in the northeast, Honduras and El Salvador in the southeast, with a total area of 108889 square kilometers (about three times the size of Taiwan Island). Although Guatemala is small in area, it is blessed with mountains and seas. It has more than 300 kinds of changeable micro-climates such as tropical rain forest, volcanic geology and plateau vertical valley, which can be called the best in the world.

Antigua is the most famous coffee producing area in Guatemala. It is a flat highland surrounded by three active volcanoes, Agua (Spanish translated as "water"), Fuego (Spanish translated as "fire") and Acatango. There is little rain, strong sunshine and low humidity. However, due to frequent volcanic activity, the soil contains a lot of light stones, which is easy to maintain moisture and overcome the problem of little rain. And Antigua's apparent temperature difference between day and night contributes to the accumulation of organic matter in coffee berries.

Volcanoes once destroyed this originally prosperous capital in an instant, and all the prosperity and beauty were taken away overnight. After this transformation of the mountain city, more than 200 years of brilliance disappeared, Antigua no longer strutted. Antigua, now plain, is laboriously managed by the remaining Indians. These hard-working Indians became coffee producers, who not only discovered the rich and attractive aroma of Antigua coffee, but also brought it to people all over the world. Today Antigua Coffee enjoys a reputation for being the best quality coffee in the world and is considered by coffee connoisseurs to be the finest and most distinctive coffee in the world.

Three volcanoes are connected together, which not only gives Antigua a beautiful scenery, but also gives the most fertile land in the area, so that coffee trees can thrive here. Every volcanic eruption brings a lot of nitrogen to the coffee tree, and the coffee tree that fully absorbs the ammonia component grows coffee beans with a charcoal burning aroma.
