Balanced flavor and taste characteristics of Antigua coffee in Guatemala A brief introduction to the cultivation of manor production areas

[characteristics] High acidity, pleasant, high alcohol thickness, with wine aftertaste Antigua coffee

Rich volcanic soil, low humidity, plenty of sunshine and cool nights are the characteristics of this producing area. The valley is surrounded by three volcanoes: Agua, Fuego and Acatenango. Volcanic ash from the eruption makes the soil of Antigua rich in minerals. Volcanic pumice can maintain humidity and overcome the lack of rainfall in Antigua; dense tree shade protects against occasional frosts.

Guatemala is located in the tropics, the northern and eastern coastal plains have a tropical rain forest climate, the southern mountains have a subtropical climate, the year is divided into two dry and wet seasons, with the wet season from May to October and the dry season from November to April of the following year. The narrow and fertile flatlands on the Pacific side of Guatemala have a tropical climate. The central plateau is also the cultural center of Guatemala, where temperatures are mild all year round at an altitude of 1300 to 1800 meters, with daily temperatures between 18 and 28 ℃, and higher levels tend to be colder in January and February. The annual precipitation is 2000-3000 mm in the northeast and 500-1000 mm in the south. [8]

Topography and geomorphology

All of Guatemala is made up of mountains and plateaus. There are Kuchu Matanes Mountains in the west, Madre Mountains in the south, volcanic belts in the west and south, with more than 30 volcanoes. Tahumurco volcano is 4211 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in Central America. Earthquakes are frequent. There are Petten lowlands in the north. There are narrow coastal plains on the Pacific coast. The major cities are mostly distributed in the intermountain basins in the south. The northern lowland plain Peteng is a tropical rain forest, and volcanoes on the central highlands can reach 4200 meters. [5]

Hydrology

There are several lakes in Guatemala, of which the largest lake is Lake Isawar in the province of Isawar and the deepest lake is Lake Attilan in the province of Solola. The main rivers that flow through Guatemala are the Motagua River, the Usuma Xinda River, the Chikso River and the Shaston River. The Chikso River is the source of the Ursuma Xinda River. [7]

Natural resources editor

The forest area of Guatemala accounts for half of the country, especially in the lowlands of Peteng, which is rich in valuable wood such as mahogany. Mineral resources include lead, zinc, chromium, antimony, gold, silver, mercury and nickel, with oil reserves of 1.43 billion barrels. The forest area accounts for 38% of the national area.

Tiny Nanguo Highland

Of the three major non-volcanic coffee-producing regions in Guatemala, the Weitango Highlands has the driest climate and the highest elevation. The dry and hot wind from Mexico's Tehuantepec plateau protects the coffee from frost and can be grown to 2000 meters (6500 feet). Because of its remote location, all coffee farmers have to process their own coffee. Fortunately, there are so many streams in the area that small processing plants can be set up almost anywhere.
