Antigua from Guatemala must be on the menu of some upscale cafes in the "Coffee of Origin" column. People who like it always keep in mind its special smoke smell. Coffee has created prosperity for Guatemala. To this day, coffee still affects the Guatemalan economy.

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.

Antigua coffee is smooth in taste and slightly charcoal-burning in aromatic alcohol, just like the sweetness of chocolate mixed with smoke. This kind of charcoal burning TOEFL in the nearby area, the volcano erupts every 30 years, allowing coffee trees to fully absorb the nitrogen emitted by the volcano during the eruption. Because of this unique charcoal incense, Antigua coffee is also known as "cigarette coffee". In fact, coffee produced in other countries near volcanoes has a similar smoke smell, but without the pure aroma of Antigua coffee. Almost all the coffee produced in Antigua retains this unique smell of smoke to the greatest extent. Guatemala is a presidential republic in Central America, located in the south of the North American continent. It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Caribbean Sea to the east, Mexico to the north and Honduras and El Salvador to the southeast. Coffee was really introduced into Guatemala in 1750 by Father Jesuit, and the coffee industry was developed by German colonists at the end of the 19th century.

Guatemala covers an area of about 108899 square kilometers. The land features can be divided into plateau volcanoes, lowland tropical forests, volcanic sandy shore plains along the Pacific coast, and virgin lands along the Caribbean Sea. The SierraMadre Mountains of Central America, which straddles Guatemala from east to west, covers an area of about 2GP3 and has 34 volcanoes. In this country, rivers and lakes dot the landscape, while equatorial forests and plain jungles cover the land. Today, most of the coffee industry's production takes place in the south of the country and is rich in high-quality coffee beans.
