Introduction of Coffee Flavor and Taste varieties in La Tisa Manor, Guatemala

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 name of the product is suitable for the taste characteristics of baking degree.

Vivette Nan Fruit is located in the highlands of northwestern Guatemala, growing at an altitude of 1800-2100 meters. It is the highest coffee-producing area in the country and is famous for producing high-quality beans. Due to the large number of rivers and lakes in Guatemala, the Vivette Nanguo region is rich in mountains and water resources, dry climate but abundant water resources, and complete water conservancy facilities in the region, coffee is mostly washed and processed. Vivette Nanguo coffee, rich taste, with a high mellow thickness, smoky taste is its most distinctive flavor.

Generally speaking, Arabica coffee grows at an altitude of about 2000 meters, while Robusta grows at an altitude of about 900m. If the altitude is too high, the coffee tree will frost because the temperature is too low, and even can not survive. And Vivette Nanguo coffee even if planted in the highlands of nearly 2000 meters above sea level, it is not easy to appear frost phenomenon, high but not cold growth environment has created high-quality extremely hard beans. This is entirely due to the warm, dry air blowing from the plains of Mexico, which protects the coffee trees from frost.

Like Costa Rica, El Salvador, Mexico, Honduras and other Central American countries, Guatemala's classification is based on altitude. Coffee produced at high altitudes is generally of higher quality than at lower altitudes, because the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature. At high elevations, the slower the coffee grows, the more beneficial it will be to the accumulation of good substances. That's why there is a way to classify quality by altitude. So what is the grading method based on altitude? Let's take Guatemala as an example. The higher the altitude, the higher the density of coffee beans, and the higher the grade of raw coffee beans. Antigua is the oldest and most beautiful city in America. As early as 1543, Antigua was the capital of all colonial times in Central America, and the Government House of Spain was also set up here. The whole city of Antigua was destroyed after the great earthquake of 1773, so the capital was moved to Guatemala City. Antigua is about 40 kilometers west of Guatemala City. Colonial buildings were damaged by the earthquake, and the whole remains after the earthquake is a living museum of history. Antigua coffee is produced in Antigua. It is grown on the hillsides of the volcano and grows naturally in full rain and sunlight.

Antigua coffee can be traced back to the Mayan civilization. Due to the eruption of the volcano, the soil here is more nutritious, and the sufficient sunlight and moisture also make the coffee produced excellent quality. Most importantly, the residents here insist on growing Arabica bourbon coffee, although the yield is small, but the texture is better. The residents of Antigua prefer an one-time harvest because they grow coffee in a large area, and use the ancient sun method to remove the skin and flesh of the coffee fruit. People pluck the ripe fruit and the immature fruit together, and even mix the leaves with them and expose them to the sun. Spread out on the ground for such a long time, coffee beans are easy to absorb the miscellaneous smell of the soil, so they often have a strange salty taste. Beginners often can't stand the strange taste, but people who are used to it like it very much. Coffee farmers in Antigua earn very little. But they themselves said: even if they are poor, they are still happy because of coffee.
