Antigua Coffee the most unusual coffee beans in the world

A cup of Antigua coffee in Guatemala seems to let us see the mysterious Mayans breeding in the ancient land, the pre-history brushed away their existence, and the previous history made them permanent.

If a person's wrinkles depict a person's path, then the smell of coffee remembers the origin of a cup of coffee: its native land, harvest time, baking and grinding methods, that is, a lifetime visit to coffee. Guatemala's rich volcanic soil gives birth to boutique coffee beans with a common flavor: Antigua coffee. The attraction of Antigua lies in its balanced and refreshing acidity, rich spice and unique smoky taste, which seems to tell us the bleak history of Antigua in Guatemala.

The aroma of coffee liberates all the barriers of way, mind and national boundaries. Through coffee, the state of mind leaves the country at any time and lands in a strange country half a world away. Even across the horizon, we can share a state of mind. Antigua was the capital of the Spanish colonial period in 1543. Although this emerald-like valley has been surrounded by all over the world, layered, deliberately waiting and dangerous active volcanoes since ancient times, its recklessness, vastness and fatness still tempted the Spaniards to build their capital in the imminent cliffs and valleys.

In the early years, the volcano wiped out the once prosperous capital of the country in an instant, and took away all the wealth and beauty overnight. Through this subverted mountain city, the splendor of more than 200 years has never been seen, and Antigua has never swaggered. The mediocre Antigua is now run by the last remaining Indians. These hardworking and strong Indians became later coffee producers. They not only found the rich and attractive common smell of Antigua coffee, but also brought it to people all over the world. Today, Antigua coffee enjoys the prestige of the best quality coffee in the world, and is called the best and most unusual coffee in the world by coffee connoisseurs.

Some people say that you will see a wonderful story in the common smoky taste of a cup of Antigua coffee in Guatemala, which is a story for Indians.

Drinking pure Antigua coffee from Guatemala and playing a South American folk song. Our thoughts can be pulled far away, as far as the early years when we never met. The intelligent Mayans who once existed in the land of Guatemala, after a day's work under coffee trees we have never seen before, they enjoyed authentic Guatemalan coffee after dinner, watching the sunset fade away from the sea level.

Mayan civilization is not only one of the major ancient civilizations in the world, but also a serious classical civilization in America. According to previous historical materials, the Mayans cultivated new varieties of food that made great contributions to mankind in agricultural production, such as corn, tomatoes, pumpkins, beans, sweet potatoes, peppers, cocoa, vanilla and tobacco, during 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 kind of enjoyment. Antigua coffee has a rich and velvety mellow, rich and vivid aroma, and sophisticated sour taste. When the attractive fragrance lingers on the tip of your tongue, there is an indescribable mystery. At the top of the list, you may feel mediocre, but as the coffee cools slowly, you will find it slightly sweet and surprised by its depth.

Antigua coffee is popular with most coffee lovers only because of its unusual aroma. Because it is cultivated in the hills of volcanoes, it is better able to preserve its own characteristics 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 because of the relatively high altitude, the climate is mild, so it is a subtropical climate. Under the influence of this climate, coffee trees blossom and bear fruit more slowly than those in other parts of the world. However, the mild climate and rich soil create an excellent environment for growing coffee.

The coffee industry, run by the Mayans, once boomed the Guatemalan economy and occupied a controlling position in the national economy. But surprisingly, the political situation in Guatemala is not good for these coffee growers. High output value is usually a symbol of a country's overall economic prosperity. However, the output of coffee in Guatemala has been relatively reduced, at 700kg per hectare, while that in El Salvador is 900kg per hectare, and that in Costa Rica is even more astonishing, reaching 1700 kg per hectare. Guatemalan coffee exports are controlled by private companies, but the National Coffee Council controls other parts of the coffee industry.

Currently, some of the best quality coffee from Guatemala is exported to Japan, where each cup of coffee sells for $3 to $4. In order to revive its own coffee industry from scratch, Guatemala has specially set up a special coffee association and gives the greatest sponsorship and attention to these high-quality coffee. These efforts will soon bear fruit, and the real beneficiaries are not only those coffee growers, but also coffee lovers all over the world.
