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 CIA began an operation called Operation PBSUCCESS in cooperation with the opposition among Guatemalan soldiers. In 1982, leftist guerrillas were merged to form the National Revolutionary Alliance of Guatemala, and armed struggle spread throughout the country. Farmers dissatisfied with the overthrow of the Arbens regime organized a guerrilla group in which more than 100,000 people were killed and millions displaced. In September 1982, the persecution of the local Mayans by the Guatemalan army was close to genocide, and more than 9000 Mayans were killed. Since 1983, persecution on the part of the Government of Guatemala began to decrease and the country began to democratize again. However, the disparity between the rich and the poor has not been solved, and only a small number of people who account for 1% own more than 60% of the arable land and wealth. In 1985, Guatemala reorganized the general election. Guatemala is located in the tropics. The northern and eastern coastal plains have a tropical rain forest climate, while 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 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. [8]

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 lowland plain in the north is a tropical rain forest, and the volcanoes in the central highlands can reach 4200 meters.

The coffee beans in each producing area have their own characteristics, and they have won a lot of praise for Guatemala in the international community, especially the perfect coordination of the sour, sweet and mellow texture of Antigua; with a touch of smoke and a little more emphasis on its mystery, you will have a reason not to look for alternatives everywhere after tasting.

Guatemalan coffee beans are mostly cultivated in high-altitude volcanic soils belonging to the most advanced Arabica varieties. 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 first-class coffee beans. The Antigua region is a closed valley surrounded by three volcanoes: Agua, Acatenango and Fuego. Antigua is flat and slightly sloping, unlike other coffee producers located in volcanic areas.

Most coffee trees are planted in the hinterland of the valley, but even so, they have reached an altitude of 5000 feet; in addition, some farmers grow coffee on the slopes of volcanoes, nearly 5600 feet above sea level.

The extremely high content of pumice (pumice) in the soil of Antigua (from the active Fuaigo volcano Fuego) keeps the humidity stable at 65% all the year round, which is very different from other volcanic coffee producing areas, where the humidity usually varies greatly between the dry and wet seasons.

Fertile volcanic soil, low humidity, plenty of sunshine and cool nights all make Antigua unique.

The three majestic volcanoes Agua, Acatenango and Fuego surround the Antigua Valley. Every once in a while, Fuego-- one of Guatemala's three active volcanoes adds fresh, mineral-rich ash to the soil of Antigua. The volcanic pumice in the soil can keep the soil moist, greatly making up for the lack of precipitation in Antigua, which is the least rainy of the eight coffee-producing regions in Guatemala.

Like all Guatemalan boutique coffee, Antigua coffee is grown in shade. In Antigua, shade is mainly used to protect coffee trees from frost, which is cold and sometimes frosty from December to February every year. Dense shade and extremely shallow aquifers work together to create a unique micro-climate for the coffee trees living in it.
