American boutique coffee La Tisa Manor on the Farahan Plateau of Guatemala

Fraijanes Plateau ®:

The Fraijanes Plateau ®is of volcanic soil, with high altitude, abundant 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. Coffee was really introduced into Guatemala in 1750 by Father Jesuit, where the coffee industry was developed by German colonists at the end of the 19th century. Today, most of the coffee industry's production takes place in the south of the country. Guatemala has seven main coffee producing areas: Antigua (Antigua), Cobain (Coban), Lake Attilan (Atitlan), Vevetnango (Huehuetenango), Farahan Plateau (Fraijanes), Oriente (Oliente) and San Marco (San Mareos). Each region has its own climate change, so the coffee beans in each region have their own characteristics, but to sum up, Guatemalan coffee has a mild and mellow overall texture and elegant aroma. With similar hot and pleasant acidity such as fruit acid, Guatemala has become an aristocrat in coffee.
