The national emblem of Guatemala is round, with an unfolded scroll in the middle of the blue circle.

Guatemala

"Freedom, September 15, 1821" was written in Spanish to commemorate Guatemala's independence from Spanish colonial rule. A green gechar bird perches on the scroll. This is Guatemala's national bird, also known as the "Bird of Freedom", which is regarded as a symbol of freedom, patriotism and friendship. Behind the scroll are rifles and swords, symbolizing that the people of the country are always ready to defend the freedom of the motherland. The above pattern is surrounded by laurel branches, "Happy Guatemala", written by Jose Joaquin Parma, and composed by Rafael Alvarez Ovaye, who won the official national anthem competition. In 1934, the Spanish grammar scholar Jose Marial Boniano made slight changes to the lyrics to soften the bloody words and enhance the poetic beauty of the capital, Guatemala City, the largest city in Guatemala and the city of Central America.

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 Antigua coffee is praised by coffee connoisseurs as the best and most unusual coffee in the world. Antigua coffee is sought after by most coffee lovers 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.

The coffee industry, run by the Mayans, once boomed Guatemala's economy and dominated the national economy. Unfortunately, the political situation in Guatemala is not good for these coffee growers. High output is usually a sign of a country's overall economic prosperity. However, coffee production in Guatemala has declined relatively, at 700kg per hectare, compared with 900kg per hectare in El Salvador and 1700 kg per hectare in Costa Rica. Guatemalan coffee exports are controlled by private companies, but the National Coffee Commission controls other sectors of the coffee industry.

At present, some of the best quality coffee from Guatemala is exported to Japan, where each cup of coffee sells for $3 to $4. In order to revitalize its coffee industry, Guatemala has specially set up a special coffee association and gives maximum funding and attention to these high-quality coffees. these efforts will soon bear fruit, and the real beneficiaries are not only coffee growers, but also coffee lovers all over the world.
