An introduction to the flavor and taste of the full-bodied and round Guatemalan coffee manor.

The average elevation of the region is between 1500 and 2000 meters above sea level, and the Gucci Madane, the highest peak in Central America, is in this area. Fortunately, the warm wind from Mexico's Quantpec Plain protects high-altitude mountains from frost. Although there is no volcanic ash soil available in other parts of Guatemala, the excellent quality of coffee in the region can be created by virtue of the excellent high altitude. Many excellent small farms have emerged in the COE competition this year. This area has fertile volcanic ash soil, low humidity and rich sunshine. The high temperature difference between day and night forms a unique geographical environment for the growth of coffee. The area is surrounded by Ague,Acetenango and Fuego volcanoes, especially the regular eruptions of Fuego, one of the three major volcanoes in Guatemala, provide the region with rich volcanic ash nutrition. Antigua is favored by coffee lovers for its wonderful floral fragrance, bright acidity and the bitterness of chocolate, and what is more unique is its unique "volcanic smoke" aroma produced from volcanic soil, so it is also known as "smoke coffee"!

Finally, it is important to note that when baking, it should be noted that city baking at a high level can maximize its taste, balance and enrich it! The seven boutique coffee producing areas have their own characteristics. on the whole, Guatemalan coffee brings a clear cup experience with elegant acidity, full and round, with a floral aroma and a clean, long finish. And its wonderful floral aroma and vivid and bright taste is difficult for other coffee, but also suitable for comprehensive coffee, while the bitterness of chocolate will continue to a long finish, without the heavy bitterness of Colombia. The flavor and sweetness are better than those of Colombia. although the overall taste of Guatemala is light, it has a good aftertaste for a long time. In addition, coffee from some producing areas brings a wonderful smoky flavor, which was brought to Guatemala by missionaries in the 1850s. In the 19th century, with the invention of European synthetic dyes, Guatemala's original important export industry was hit, coffee gradually became an important export, and coffee cultivation gradually expanded. By the end of the 19th century, coffee had played an important role in Guatemalan politics and economy. Large coffee farmers had great influence on the political situation. Under the leadership of a president born as a coffee farmer, the government promoted coffee cultivation through free coffee seedlings and tax policies. In 1944, after the democratically elected president came to power, the reform policy was implemented and the cheese of the vested interests was overthrown under the planning of the US intelligence service. Guatemala was plunged into a half-century-long civil war until 1996.

The civil war damaged the original coffee industry, but the original species of coffee in Guatemala, mainly bourbon, were preserved.

Guatemala's coffee industry plays an important role in the domestic economy, with coffee exports accounting for 1/3 of total foreign exchange revenues. Guatemala was once the largest coffee producer in China and the United States until it was overtaken by Honduras in 2011
