There are few places in the world that offer a variety of high-quality coffee beans like those produced in Guatemala. Guatemalan coffee beans are famous for their elegant, sour, clean, well-structured, sour apple, berry, jasmine, orange peel, green pepper, sweet and sour fruit, sweet chocolate, and even smoky aftertaste. Such a rich regional flavor can be attributed to the unique natural conditions of the producing area, including different climate changes in each region, rich soil formed by volcanoes, abundant natural water resources, high-altitude mountains and shady and moist forests.

Coffee was really introduced into Guatemala in 1750 by Father Jesuit, and the coffee industry was developed by German colonists at the end of the 19th century.

Guatemala has seven main coffee producing areas: Antigua, Coban, Atitlan, Huehuetenango, Fraijanes, Oriente, and San Marcos.

The four producing areas of Antigua, Attland, San Marco and Freihanes belong to volcanic geology. In addition, Koban and Weitnango, the three producing areas of New Oriental, belong to the climate of non-volcanic highlands or tropical rain forests. Guatemala is home to more than 300 microclimates, making it the largest in the world.
