The aroma of coffee liberates all forms, hearts and national boundaries. Through coffee, the mood leaves the country at any time and lands in a strange country half a world away. Even at the end of the world, you can share a mood. Antigua was the capital of the Spanish colonial period in 1543. Although this emerald-like valley has been surrounded by active volcanoes in all directions, layered, deliberately waiting for development and full of danger since ancient times, its vastness, vastness and fertility still tempted the Spaniards to build their capital in the precarious cliff valley at that time.

Antigua produces the best coffee in Guatemala, which still follows the traditional way of life and sits between three volcanoes. Coffee farmers from Antigua have a rich knowledge of gardening and are keen to produce great coffee. Antigua has always produced some of the best coffee in Central America.

Although Antigua coffee in Guatemala comes mainly from Antigua, we also purchase coffee from seven important coffee growing areas in Guatemala, such as Huehuetanango, San Marcos and Atitlan, etc.

We buy more coffee from Guatemala than any other coffee producing country.

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.
