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. Antigua coffee, which is praised by coffee connoisseurs as the best and most distinctive coffee in the world, 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.
