Front Street-introduction to Guatemalan Coffee

The latitude of Guatemala is about 15 degrees, bordering the Pacific Ocean on the left and the Caribbean Sea on the right. The Sierra Mountains on this side of the Pacific Ocean are the main coffee-growing areas of Guatemala. Because the mountains stretch very long and the regional climate changes greatly, it has created the seven major coffee producing areas of the country. The coffee in these seven major producing areas has different flavors and characteristics. Among them, the coffee of Antigua is slightly sour, fragrant and glycolic, with a slightly volcanic carbon burning flavor, which makes Guatemala coffee especially famous in Antigua.

Mayan culture is not only one of the most important ancient cultures in the world, but also an important classical culture in America. According to historical data, the Mayans cultivated new grain varieties that made great contributions to mankind in agricultural production, such as corn, tomatoes, pumpkins, beans, sweet potatoes, peppers, cocoa, vanilla and tobacco, among which the cultivation of corn made the greatest contribution to mankind. Although there is no record of coffee here, today, most coffee growers in Guatemala can be seen as descendants of the Mayans, and they like to be called that.

Guatemalan coffee has a strong aroma, even if you don't drink it, just smelling it is already a pleasure. Antigua coffee has a rich and velvety mellow, rich and lively aroma, and fine sour taste. When the attractive fragrance lingers on the tip of your tongue, there is an indescribable mystery. You may feel dull at the first sip, but as the coffee cools down, you will find it slightly sweet and be surprised by its depth.

Antigua coffee is popular with most coffee lovers only because of its distinctive aroma. Because it is planted in the hills of volcanoes, it can retain its own characteristics more than Costa Rica, the main reason is that it has more geographical and climatic advantages than Costa Rica. Guatemala is located in the tropics, but due to the relatively high altitude, the climate is mild, it is a subtropical climate. Under the influence of this climate, coffee trees blossom and bear fruit more slowly than coffee trees in other parts of the world. However, the mild climate and fertile soil make it an excellent environment for growing coffee.

Guaguaran coffee belongs to Arabica species, which is treated by washing. In the far northwest, there is a piece of Huehuetenango highland. Due to the elevation of more than 5000 feet, the coffee produced has the characteristics of hard texture, strong acidity and rich taste of high altitude coffee. It is also one of the most distinctive coffee in Guardia.
