Taste of Guatemalan Coffee Manor Incht Manor Guatemalan Coffee producing area

Las Rosas de Oakland Manor, San Marco District, Guatemala

It is said that Oakland Manor covers an area of 45ha's next harvest with a target of 120 bags. It pays more attention to quality than harvest, so it is very limited by climate, rainfall and other factors. About 40 harvesters were employed from the village during the harvest period. These people were not people who went out to earn money, but the whole family sent out to harvest. Of course, children are also picking coffee. In Brazil, even parents who ask their children to carry heavy objects are punished by the law, and here in Guatemala, they naturally help their families with harvesting in order to make a living.

There are many rivers pouring into Oakland Manor.

This mountain soil is rich in water and good soil breeds a perfect taste, sour taste and gorgeous aroma.

Guatemala is the most backward country in Central America. There is no farmland reform, but there are differences. Peasant families will always be farmers and employees will never change no matter how smart you are or how hard you try. It's a matter of course in this country. After leaving Oakland Manor, continue to drive about 5 hours to Vivette Nanguo area.

To get to this manor, you have to climb the mountain road for about 45 minutes by shuttle truck. If you fall, the bottom of the valley is about 500m deep.

The manor that won the first place in COE in 2005. At the time of harvest, half of it is still in harvest. The manor is located deep in the mountains and has no access to electricity. Therefore, the use of mountain springs, self-hydro power to refine coffee. The highest grade coffee is refined by using water flow as specific gravity separation and hydraulic power to refine the seeds with pulp and mucilage by perfect dry fermentation. The gloss of coffee cherries is different and the seeds are very beautiful.

Perfect coffee cherries and beautiful seeds.

Actually feel that the coffee production attaches great importance to the quality of the fine manor. The combination of excellent soil and professional technology creates the most advanced coffee. Delicious, of course!

After leaving Huitz Matig Manor,

The next destination is Antigua, the last stop.

Antigua is one of the few tourist attractions in Guatemala.

The city scenery is reminiscent of medieval Europe, a chic and beautiful town. Coffee farms are generally located in more remote towns, but they produce the highest quality Guatemalan coffee near the city!

La Tacita Manor, Antigua District, Guatemala

Next to the famous San Sebastian Manor, there is about the production area of 90ha.

There is a big temperature difference between hot and cold in this area. The temperature will drop to 0 degrees in the cold season. There is also little rainfall, which is a disadvantageous environment for coffee trees. But the geothermal heat of Agua Volcano produces the highest quality coffee. Harvest season from more than 600 collectors from the selection of La Tacita manor-specific collectors, the sense of responsibility of the collectors, self-consciousness, the work of making fine coffee training. It is understood that this year's harvest has dropped by 40% due to abnormal climate, but there is a very obvious awareness of coffee production due to the emphasis on quality. With regard to the coffee characteristics of the "La Tacita Manor" in Antigua, the water content of coffee is usually reduced after the drying process, and here is the method of drying to reduce the water content to 10% and then place it to 1112%. Coffee that can pass this project has a very high potential and is said to be very long-lasting.
