Introduction to the Origin of Fine Coffee beans in the volcanic Coffee producing areas of Africa Bean Guatemala

1. Acatenango Valley ®:

The Acatenango Valley Valley, which is 2000 meters (6500 feet) above sea level, is shaded and ecologically unique, and the nearby Fuego volcano continues to erupt, making its coarse, sandy soil rich in a variety of minerals. Temperate sea breezes from the Pacific and a seasonal climate allow coffee in this region to be dried by sunlight and processed according to traditional family methods that have been accumulated over the years.

two。 Antigua coffee (Antigua Coffee ®):

Rich volcanic soil, low humidity, plenty of sunshine and cool nights are the climatic characteristics of Antigua coffee producing areas. The valley is surrounded by three volcanoes: Agua, Fuego and Acatenango. Tierra del Fuego volcano is one of the three most active volcanoes in Guatemala, and the ash from frequent eruptions makes the soil of Antigua rich in minerals. The volcanic pumice in the soil can maintain humidity and help overcome the lack of rainfall in Antigua. In addition, the tree shade in this area is particularly dense, which can withstand occasional frosts and protect coffee plants from frosts.

3. Traditional Attilan (Traditional Atitl á n ®)

Atitlan is one of the five largest volcanic coffee producing areas in Guatemala, and its soil organic matter is the most abundant among the five volcanic coffee producing areas. 90% of the traditional Atilan coffee is grown on the violent volcanic slopes of Lake Attila, where the daily breeze stirs the lake, which is an important factor affecting the microclimate of the region. The area has accumulated excellent planting and processing techniques for a long time.

4. Rainforest Coban (Coban ®)

Koban is cloudy, rainy and cool all the year round. The vast majority of Koban coffee in the rainforest is grown in the obviously undulating and foggy mountains of the region and is deeply influenced by limestone and clay in the Atlantic basin. Koban has two seasons: the rainy season and the rainy season.

5. Fraijanes Plateau ®:

The area is of volcanic soil, with high altitude, sufficient rainfall and great humidity variation. Ash from Pacaya, Guatemala's most active volcano, provides important minerals for the soil in the region. There is plenty of sunshine in the dry season, and although the clouds and dew are heavy in the morning, they dissipate quickly. As a result, 100% of the coffee in the area is processed in the full sun.

The acidity is bright and consistent, the aroma is full, and the mellow thickness is delicate.

6. Highland Huehue ®:

Of the three major non-volcanic coffee producing areas in Guatemala, the Mini Tenango Highlands has the driest climate and the highest elevation. The dry and hot wind from Mexico's Tehuantepec plateau protects the region's coffee from frost and can be grown to 2000 meters (6500 feet). Because of its remote location, all coffee farmers have to process their own coffee, but fortunately there are so many streams in the area that small processing plants can be set up almost anywhere.

7. New Oriental (New Oriente ®):

Coffee in this area has been grown entirely by small farmers since the 1950s, and now every farmer in the mountains is a coffee production unit. This area, once the most remote and poorest part of Guatemala, is now alive and well. Rainy, cloudy, New Oriental ancient times is a volcanic area, soil volcanic metamorphic rock evolved, rich in minerals, balanced nutrition, different from other volcanic coffee producing areas.

8. Mount San Marco Volcanic San Marcos ®:

San Marco has the hottest climate of the eight largest coffee producing regions in Guatemala, with a maximum rainfall of 200inches (5000 mm). The rainy season is earlier than in other areas, and coffee trees bloom earlier. Like other remote areas of Guatemala, volcanic San Marco coffee is grown and processed by small farmers. Due to the frequent rainfall in the rainy season, most coffee is pre-dried in the sun and then dried in a Guardiola dryer.
