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 of October 1944, the former dictator was overthrown, Guatemala practised democracy and freedom of expression, and few places in the world could provide a variety of high-quality coffee beans like those produced in Guatemala. Guatemalan coffee beans are famous for their elegant, sour, clean, well-structured, sour apple, berry, jasmine, orange peel, green pepper, sweet and sour fruit, sweet chocolate, and even smoky aftertaste. Such a rich regional flavor can be attributed to the unique natural conditions of the producing area, including different climate changes in each region, rich soil formed by volcanoes, abundant natural water resources, high-altitude mountains and shady forests, etc.

The flavor of coffee produced in different areas is different, but to sum up, Guatemalan coffee shows a mild and mellow overall texture, elegant aroma and special and pleasant acidity similar to fruit acid, so it has become an aristocrat in coffee, among which Antigua Classic Coffee (AntiguaClassic) has been recommended by coffee connoisseurs all over the world.

Next, we will make a detailed introduction to the famous Antigua producing area.

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. After the great earthquake of 1773, the whole city of Antigua was destroyed and 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.

The first law in Guatemala's 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.

Antigua coffee is popular with most coffee lovers only because of its distinctive aroma. Because it is planted in the hills of volcanoes, it can retain its own characteristics more than Costa Rica, the main reason is that it has more geographical and climatic advantages than Costa Rica. Guatemala is located in the tropics, but due to the relatively high altitude, the climate is mild, it is a subtropical climate. Under the influence of this climate, coffee trees blossom and bear fruit more slowly than coffee trees in other parts of the world. However, the mild climate and fertile soil make it an excellent environment for growing coffee
