Sour and gorgeous fragrant coffee flavor description in Incht Manor, Guatemala, taste variety producing area

From 1871 to 1944, the country began to devote itself to economic modernization. At the same time, the United Fruit Company, which is dominated by the United States, has also begun to buy large coffee and banana estates in Guatemala and intervene in Guatemalan politics. After the revolution in October 1944, the former dictator was overthrown, Guatemala implemented democracy and freedom of expression, and the first law in Guatemalan history to protect the interests of workers came into force. [7] Guatemala began the process of democratization. [1]

Between 1950 and 1954, the ruling president Jacobo Abens implemented land reform, when big landlords, who accounted for 2 per cent of the country's population, owned about 70 per cent of the country's arable land. Arbens wrote a check for land reform, promising to buy the land held by the big landlords and redistribute it to small farmers. Arbens won the election, and the land reform plan was carried out immediately. Landlords who own more than 223 acres of land will be expropriated as long as there is land not used for production. In the end, an average of 4300 acres of land was expropriated from 1059 farms, and about 100, 000 farmers were given ownership of the land. [7]

Inter-American Railway and the only seaport in Guatemala. Driven by the United Fruit Company, the US Ministry of Foreign Affairs began a propaganda war against Guatemala to crack down on the Arbens regime in the name of anti-communism.

The first manor to visit in Guatemala is San Marco, "Las Rosas de Oakland Manor". On the way, I saw the "sea" which had nothing to do with the coffee farm.

What I feel when I come to Guatemala is that the country has a unique flavor. An indescribable rustic flavor.

Beautiful coffee flowers! It smells like jasmine.

When you get to Oakland Manor, you can no longer take a taxi for the rest of the journey. The pick-up truck moved on to the manor deep in the mountains, and the bad road conditions shook the car almost to the point of muscle pain, so it went all the way to its destination. But it's really hard. While rocking with the car, enjoy the natural scenery of the mountains.

Las Rosas de Oakland Manor, San Marco District, Guatemala

It is said that Oakland Manor covers an area of 45ha's next harvest with a target of 120 bags. It pays more attention to quality than harvest, so it is very limited by climate, rainfall and other factors. About 40 harvesters were employed from the village during the harvest period. These people were not people who went out to earn money, but the whole family sent out to harvest. Of course, children are also picking coffee. In Brazil, even parents who ask their children to carry heavy objects are punished by the law, and here in Guatemala, they naturally help their families with harvesting in order to make a living.

The main house hidden in the mountains and the perfect drying field

There are many rivers pouring into Oakland Manor.

This mountain soil is rich in water and good soil breeds a perfect taste, sour taste and gorgeous aroma.

Guatemala is the most backward country in Central America. There is no farmland reform, but there are differences. Peasant families will always be farmers and employees will never change no matter how smart you are or how hard you try. It's a matter of course in this country. After leaving Oakland Manor, continue to drive about 5 hours to Vivette Nanguo area.

To get to this manor, you have to climb the mountain road for about 45 minutes by shuttle truck. If you fall, the bottom of the valley is about 500m deep.

The manor that won the first place in COE in 2005. At the time of harvest, half of it is still in harvest. The manor is located deep in the mountains and has no access to electricity. Therefore, the use of mountain springs, self-hydro power to refine coffee. The highest grade coffee is refined by using water flow as specific gravity separation and hydraulic power to refine the seeds with pulp and mucilage by perfect dry fermentation. The gloss of coffee cherries is different and the seeds are very beautiful coffee.
