History of Coffee in Guatemala

A cup of Antigua coffee in Guatemala seems to let us see the sudden disappearance of the mysterious Mayans multiply in the ancient land, history brushed away their existence, history has achieved their eternity.

If a person's wrinkles depict a person's path, then the smell of coffee remembers the origin of a cup of coffee: about its hometown, the time of harvest, the way it is roasted and ground, that is, the lifetime journey of coffee. Guatemala's fertile volcanic soil gives birth to a unique flavor of boutique coffee beans: Antigua coffee. The charm of Antigua lies in its balanced and refreshing acidity, rich spice and unique smoky taste, as if to tell us about the desolate history of Antigua in Guatemala.

The aroma of coffee liberates all forms, hearts and national boundaries. Through coffee, the mood leaves the country at any time and lands in a strange country half a world away. Even at the end of the world, you can share a mood. Antigua was the capital of the Spanish colonial period in 1543. Although this emerald-like valley has been surrounded by active volcanoes in all directions, layered, deliberately waiting and full of dangers since ancient times, its vastness, vastness and fertility still tempted Spaniards to build a capital in the precarious cliff valley.

The volcano once destroyed the once-prosperous capital in an instant, robbing it of all its prosperity and beauty overnight. After this subversive mountain city, the splendor has disappeared for more than 200 years, and Antigua has never swaggered again. After being dull, Antigua is now run by the last remaining Indians. These hardworking Indians became later coffee producers. They not only discovered the rich and attractive unique smell of Antigua coffee, but also brought it to people all over the world. Today, Antigua coffee enjoys a reputation as the best quality coffee in the world and is praised by coffee connoisseurs as the best and most distinctive coffee in the world.

The coffee produced in the highland is mellow and has a good sour taste, which is well received and is the best material for mixed coffee.

Guatemala's extremely hard beans are famous for their elegant, sour, clean, well-structured, as well as sour apples, berries, jasmine, orange peel, green pepper, sweet and sour fruit, sweet chocolate, and even smoky aftertaste.

Such a rich regional flavor should be related to the soil and water in the eight major producing areas of the dangerous country. Among them, the five producing areas of Antigua, Ekat Nango Valley, Attilan, St. Mark and Huaiqiang belong to volcanic geology. In addition, Vivetta Nanguo, Koban and New Oriental producing areas 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.

Guatemalan coffee varieties

Guatemalan coffee beans are mostly cultivated in high-altitude volcanic soils belonging to the most advanced Arabica (Arabica) variety. Due to the long ripening period, the beans are medium and dense (Guatemalan coffee beans are graded not on the basis of particle size, but on the basis of shortcomings), and the bean color is dark turquoise. The unique sour taste of fragrance, mellow, sweetness and freshness is characterized by the aroma and taste of coffee beans hidden in its sour taste. Therefore, coffee beans with this characteristic can be called high-quality coffee beans. The name of the product is suitable for the taste characteristics of baking degree.
