Guatemala Fine Coffee beans Antigua Coffee flavor Manor production area introduction to Guatemala Antioch

Rising to 2000 meters (6500 feet), with dense shade and unique ecology, the nearby Fuego volcano erupts, 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. It is cloudy and rainy all the year round and the climate is cool. 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: rainy season and rainy season Antigua

Rich volcanic soil, low humidity, plenty of sunshine and cool nights are the characteristics of this producing area. The valley is surrounded by three volcanoes: Agua, Fuego and Acatenango. Volcanic ash from the eruption makes the soil of Antigua rich in minerals. Volcanic pumice can maintain humidity and overcome the lack of rainfall in Antigua; dense tree shade protects against occasional frosts.

Coffee Tree species and planting of La minita

Four varieties of coffee trees, Caturra, Caturra red, Caturra yellow and Bourbon, were planted in La Minita Manor in about 680 acres. After years of experimental statistical analysis and cup quality test, La Minita Manor decided to mainly adopt Caturra varieties and continue to retain a small number of old Hibrido varieties. Although La Minita planted about 2500 coffee trees per acre, the number of coffee trees was still determined according to geographical characteristics and coffee species. La minita Manor currently has a total of about 1.7 million trees. La Minita adopts a five-year knockout system. Every five years, the previously produced coffee trees are cut down to a height of about 50 centimeters, leaving lower branches. This practice will stimulate the rebirth of the trees. After a year of cutting down trees, two main twigs will be selected for production in the next four years. These processes are all carried out manually, with about 350000 trees trimmed each year. After three rounds of pruning, that is, 15 years, the resources of the coffee trees are almost exhausted. La Minita will move new trees from his own coffee nursery instead. The nursery is located in a well-protected place in the manor. The new trees planted in the nursery will be planted in the nursery for a year before being transplanted to the production farm. Under normal circumstances, La Minita will plant about 150000 coffee trees a year. In addition, La Minita uses fast-growing and wide-leaved "Pror" trees as coffee shade trees. These trees will choose different planting densities according to the demand for sunlight and temperature control in the production area, and adjust them according to the demand.
