The narrow and fertile flatlands on the Pacific side of Guatemala have a tropical climate. The central plateau is also the cultural center of Guatemala, where temperatures are mild all year round at an altitude of 1300 to 1800 meters, with daily temperatures between 18 and 28 ℃, and higher levels tend to be colder in January and February. The annual precipitation is 2000-3000 mm in the northeast and 500-1000 mm in the south.

Topography and geomorphology

All of Guatemala is made up of mountains and plateaus. There are Kuchu Matanes Mountains in the west, Madre Mountains in the south, volcanic belts in the west and south, with more than 30 volcanoes. Tahumurco volcano is 4211 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in Central America. Earthquakes are frequent. There are Petten lowlands in the north. There are narrow coastal plains on the Pacific coast. The major cities are mostly distributed in the intermountain basins in the south. The northern lowland plain Peteng is a tropical rain forest, and volcanoes on the central highlands can reach 4200 meters. [5]

Guatemala is located in the tropics, the northern and eastern coastal plains have a tropical rain forest climate, the southern mountains have a subtropical climate, the year is divided into two dry and wet seasons, with the wet season from May to October and the dry season from November to April of the following year.

The central plateau is also the cultural center of Guatemala, where temperatures are mild all year round at an altitude of 1300 to 1800 meters, with daily temperatures between 18 and 28 ℃, and higher levels tend to be colder in January and February. The annual precipitation is 2000-3000 mm in the northeast and 500-1000 mm in the south, while the ecological conditions in the south are very suitable for the growth of high-quality Arabica trees. What is more special is that several active volcanoes are distributed in the southern mountains, and these active volcanoes still erupt irregularly. Although they bring instability to the lives of the local people, their rich volcanic ash soil also benefits the local coffee industry and brings rich substances to coffee cultivation.

And most of the Guatemalan coffee beans belong to the bourbon species of Arabica, so almost all of Guatemala's coffee-growing areas are in the southern mountain forests of the country.

In Guatemala, there are seven major coffee producing areas, each producing different coffee flavors, but to sum up, Guatemalan coffee shows a mild and mellow overall texture, elegant aroma, and similar acidity and pleasant acidity, becoming the aristocracy of coffee, among which AntiguaClassic in Antigua is highly recommended by global coffee gluttons.
