Compared with other kinds of coffee, tasters prefer this mixed flavor coffee with spicy flavor. The extra-hard coffee beans here are a rare good coffee with full grains, delicious taste and balanced acidity. In addition, Guatemala has attracted a lot of attention because of its giant coffee beans.

Antigua coffee is produced in Hacienda Carmona, where the best quality coffee is EL Pulcal, which is not only of good quality, but also has a stronger flavor, richer taste and stronger tobacco flavor than other Guatemalan coffee. 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.

Other coffee producers include San Marco, Oriente & Coban, Palcya, Mataquescuintia and La Uman in Sakapa.
