Coffee was introduced to Guatemala in 1750 by Father Jesuit, and German colonists developed the coffee industry in the late 19th century. Today, most of the coffee industry is produced in the south of the country. There are seven major coffee producing areas in Guatemala. The coffee produced in each producing area has different flavor, but in summary, the coffee in Guatemala presents mild and mellow overall texture, elegant aroma, and special and pleasant acidity similar to fruit acid, becoming the aristocrat of coffee, among which Antigua Classic coffee (Antigua Classic) is deeply recommended by coffee connoisseurs around the world.

Antigua is the oldest and most beautiful city in America. As early as 1543, Antigua was the colonial capital of Central America, and the Spanish government was also located here. After a major earthquake in 1773, Antigua was completely destroyed, so the capital was moved to Guatemala. Antigua City is about 40 kilometers west of Guatemala City. Colonial buildings were destroyed by the earthquake. After the earthquake, the original state was preserved as a whole. It can be said to be a living historical museum.

Antigua is a famous coffee producer, rich volcanic soil, low humidity, strong sunlight and cool evening winds are the characteristics of Antigua. Three spectacular active volcanoes-Agua, Acatenango and Fuego-form a beautiful valley. Fuego active volcano also occasionally adds misty dust. Every 30 years or so, the area around Antigua is hit by a volcanic eruption, which provides more nitrogen to the already fertile land, and sufficient rainfall and sunshine make the area more suitable for growing coffee. Antigua coffee is produced at Camana Estate, where the best quality coffee is El Pulcal, which is not only of good quality, but if compared with other Latin American coffees, this coffee can be said to be quite complete, rich and amazing, if you enjoy it with chocolate, there will be unexpected discoveries. The most important thing is that it is very rich in flavor, richer in taste, and it has a fascinating tobacco flavor, known as "the most perfect coffee bean"

Antigua coffee is sought after by most coffee lovers because of its distinctive aroma. Because it is planted on the belly of volcanoes, it can retain its own characteristics more than Costa Rica, mainly because it has more geographical and climatic advantages than Costa Rica. Guatemala is located in the tropics, but due to its high altitude, the climate is mild and subtropical. Coffee trees bloom and bear fruit slower than coffee trees in other parts of the world under the influence of this climate. However, the mild climate combined with fertile soil creates an excellent environment for growing coffee.

These Mayan-run coffee industries once made Guatemala's economy prosperous and occupied a dominant position in the national economy. Unfortunately, however, the political situation in Guatemala is not conducive to these coffee growers. High output is usually a sign of overall economic prosperity in a country. However, coffee production in Guatemala has declined relatively, to only 700 kg/ha, compared with 900 kg/ha in El Salvador and a staggering 1700 kg/ha in Costa Rica. Guatemala's coffee export trade is controlled by private companies, but the National Coffee Council controls other sectors of the coffee industry.

Some of Guatemala's finest coffee is currently exported to Japan, where it sells for $3 to $4 a cup. Guatemala's efforts to revitalize its coffee industry by creating a special coffee association and giving maximum support and attention to high-quality coffee will soon bear fruit, not only for coffee growers but also for coffee lovers around the world
