Guava Plain Manor Fine Coffee in Guatemala New Oriental region

Guatemala is one of the most important coffee producing countries in Central America, with long mountains and different regional climates, thus creating eight major coffee producing areas in Guatemala, all located on the highland topography of the subtropical climate, with abundant and stable rainfall and fertile volcanic ash soil is an excellent environment for coffee trees to grow. Plan del Guayabo is located next to the Volc á n de Sucht á n volcano, which means "guava plain" in Spanish. It is named because of the large number of guava trees planted locally. The estate is owned by Benjamin Donado (Mr. Benjam í n Donado). The Donado family has been engaged in coffee production since 1990 and has been producing coffee for more than 20 years. Before that, local farmers were so strange to coffee production that it was hard to imagine planting coffee trees in such a steep and high altitude environment, but now it has been proved that Benjamin made the right choice to produce high quality coffee beans with different varieties and different processing methods. In the early New Oriente region of Guatemala, it was common for berry buyers to regularly buy coffee cherries from farmers and then resell them to larger middlemen, where they were resold to the town of Esquipulas, where they were mixed with other batches to form a large batch of SHB that could not be traced back, and finally sold around the world under the name New Oriental (New Oriente). In view of this, more and more international raw bean traders are trying to change this situation, working with local partners to produce coffee raw beans with excellent flavor and traceable origin, breaking the traditional vicious circle. Guava Plain Manor is one of the important members.
