Flavor description of Guatemalan Coffee with strong and other characteristics introduction to the taste of high-quality coffee beans in the producing area

The Guatemalan Coffee Research Institute is a coffee institution run by the producers themselves, and it is also the main coffee-related institution in Guatemala. It is not only responsible for diversified undertakings such as coffee-related agricultural counseling, but also responsible for compiling a resume guide for local coffee production and the harvest time in the lowlands is also different. Coffee trees in the lowlands bloom from January to March, and the harvest period begins around September. The highland was later and began to harvest one after another in April of the following year. In terms of refinement, most of them are washed with water, and then the coffee beans in Guatemala are dried by the sun on the cement floor, ceramic tiles or tile houses to distinguish the different quality grades according to the elevation. In the higher altitude areas, the coffee with sour taste and strong feeling is highly valued, while the products in the lower areas do not have sour, strong and other characteristics, so the farms have moved to the highlands. Among the grades set in terms of altitude, most of the varieties of Guatemala known as "extremely hard beans" are Arabica species, leaving only a few Tybika species. In addition, there are dwarf Kaddura or Kaduai species, which in recent years have also actively planted the geographical features of Guatemala, such as Bacamara, which face the Atlantic and Pacific oceans on both sides, as well as lakes, Mexican plains, and alpine areas, which are rich in diversity. Agricultural gardens all over the country make good use of the surrounding environment to develop unique coffee cultivation.

Guatemala is geographically rich in diversity, and the coffee produced varies from region to region with subtle differences in aroma. Due to the high topography of Antigua, the coffee produced has a clear sour taste and a good sense of thickness. compared with coffee from Atitlan or other producing areas, you can immediately understand the difference.

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 poor, but because of coffee, they still feel happy is the famous origin of coffee.

Rich volcanic soil, low humidity, strong sunlight and cool night breezes are characteristic of Antigua.

Three spectacular active volcanoes, Agua, Acatenango and Fuego, form a beautiful valley.

Every 30 years or so, the area near Antigua is hit by a volcanic eruption, which provides more nitrogen to the already fertile land, and plenty of rainfall and sunlight make the place more suitable for growing coffee.

Antigua coffee is produced in Camana Manor, where the best quality coffee is ELPulcal, which is not only of good quality, but also, if compared with other Latin American coffee, this coffee can be said to be quite complete, rich and amazing. If you enjoy it with chocolate, you will find it unexpected.
