Between 1950 and 1954, the ruling president Jacobo Abens implemented land reform, when big landlords, who accounted for 2 per cent of the country's population, owned about 70 per cent of the country's arable land. Arbens wrote a check for land reform, promising to buy the land held by the big landlords and redistribute it to small farmers. Arbens won the election, and the land reform plan was carried out immediately. Landlords who own more than 223 acres of land will be expropriated as long as there is land not used for production. In the end, an average of 4300 acres of land was expropriated from 1059 farms, and about 100, 000 farmers were given ownership of the land. [7]

United Fruit has its largest estate in Guatemala, and it also owns medium

Inter-American Railway and the only seaport in Guatemala. Driven by the United Fruit Company, the US Ministry of Foreign Affairs began a propaganda war against Guatemala to crack down on the Arbens regime in the name of anti-communism. The Central Intelligence Agency, in cooperation with the opposition among Guatemalan soldiers, launched an operation called Operation PBSUCCESS. [7]

In 1954, Arbens was overthrown and Castillo Armas became the new dictator. The new government immediately invalidated all reforms. Enter the period of transition between the right-wing military government and the literati government. [1]

In 1957, Armas was assassinated and his heir was a soldier who was already known for his bloodshed in the dictatorship of the 1940s.

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 the reputation of the best quality coffee in the world, and is praised by coffee connoisseurs as the best and most distinctive coffee Mayan culture in the world. It is not only one of the most important ancient cultures in the world, but also an important classical culture in America. According to historical data, the Mayans cultivated new grain varieties that made great contributions to mankind in agricultural production, such as corn, tomatoes, pumpkins, beans, sweet potatoes, peppers, cocoa, vanilla and tobacco, among which the cultivation of corn made the greatest contribution to mankind. Although there is no record of coffee here, today, most coffee growers in Guatemala can be seen as descendants of the Mayans, and they like to be called that.

Guatemalan coffee has a strong aroma, even if you don't drink it, just smelling it is already a pleasure. Antigua coffee has a rich and velvety mellow, rich and lively aroma, and fine sour taste. When the attractive fragrance lingers on the tip of your tongue, there is an indescribable mystery. You may feel dull at the first sip, but as the coffee cools down, you will find it slightly sweet and be surprised by its depth.

Antigua coffee is popular with most coffee lovers only because of its distinctive aroma. Because it is planted in the hills of volcanoes, it can retain its own characteristics more than Costa Rica, the main reason is that it has more geographical and climatic advantages than Costa Rica. Guatemala is located in the tropics, but due to the relatively high altitude, the climate is mild, it is a subtropical climate. Under the influence of this climate, coffee trees blossom and bear fruit more slowly than coffee trees in other parts of the world. However, the mild climate and fertile soil make it an excellent environment for growing coffee
