Introduction to the unique sour coffee producing areas of La Tisa Manor in Guatemala

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]

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. [7]

In 1960, leftist military groups appeared in Guatemala. [1]

In 1982, the leftist guerrillas across the country 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.

The coffee produced in the highland is mellow and has a good sour taste, which is well received and is the best material for mixed coffee.

Guatemala's extremely hard beans are famous for their elegant, sour, clean, well-structured, as well as sour apples, berries, jasmine, orange peel, green pepper, sweet and sour fruit, sweet chocolate, and even smoky aftertaste.

Such a rich regional flavor should be related to the soil and water in the eight major producing areas of the dangerous country. Among them, the five producing areas of Antigua, Ekat Nango Valley, Attilan, St. Mark and Huaiqiang belong to volcanic geology. In addition, Vivetta Nanguo, Koban and New Oriental producing areas belong to the climate of non-volcanic highlands or tropical rain forests. Guatemala is home to more than 300 microclimates, making it the largest in the world.

Guatemalan coffee varieties

Guatemalan coffee beans are mostly cultivated in high-altitude volcanic soils belonging to the most advanced Arabica (Arabica) variety. 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 high-quality coffee beans. The name of the product is suitable for the taste characteristics of baking degree.

The average elevation of dangerous countries is high, with coffee belts distributed above 1500 meters and between 14 and 16 degrees north latitude, it is the easiest to grow extremely hard beans, all of which are washed, of which 45% belong to fine grade, the proportion is quite high, and there are also a small amount of Robusta.

The varieties of coffee in dangerous countries are mainly bourbon, Tibika, Kaduai and Kaddura, and there are also a few yellow bourbon, Rosa and Pacamara. The varieties are quite diverse, but it is also commendable to retain the ancient Tibica and bourbon.
