A brief introduction to the History and Culture of the Origin and Development of Antigua Flower God Coffee in Guatemala

The land features can be divided into plateau volcanoes, lowland tropical forests, volcanic sandy shore plains along the Pacific coast, and virgin lands along the Caribbean Sea. The SierraMadre Mountains of Central America, which straddles Guatemala from east to west, covers an area of about 2GP3 and has 34 volcanoes. In this country, rivers and lakes dot the landscape, while equatorial forests and plain jungles cover the land. Today, most of the coffee industry's production takes place in the south of the country and is rich in high-quality coffee beans.

This is because Guatemala is located in the tropics, the northern and eastern coastal plains have a tropical rain forest climate, and the southern mountains have a subtropical climate, with two dry and wet seasons a year, with the wet season from May to October and the dry season from November to April of the following year.

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, while the ecological conditions in the south are very suitable for the growth of high-quality Arabica trees. What is more special is that several active volcanoes are distributed in the southern mountains, and these active volcanoes still erupt irregularly. Although they bring instability to the lives of the local people, their rich volcanic ash soil also benefits the local coffee industry and brings rich substances to coffee cultivation.

And most of the Guatemalan coffee beans belong to the bourbon species of Arabica, so almost all of Guatemala's coffee-growing areas are in the southern mountain forests of the country.

In Guatemala, there are seven major coffee producing areas, each producing different coffee flavors, but to sum up, Guatemalan coffee shows a mild and mellow overall texture, elegant aroma, and similar acidity and pleasant acidity, becoming the aristocracy of coffee, among which AntiguaClassic in Antigua is highly recommended by coffee gluttons all over the world.

The coffee beans in each producing area have their own characteristics, and they have won a lot of praise for Guatemala in the international community, especially the perfect coordination of the sour, sweet and mellow texture of Antigua; with a touch of smoke and a little more emphasis on its mystery, you will have a reason not to look for alternatives everywhere after tasting.

Here, the slopes of Sierra Madre volcano provide ideal conditions for growing high-quality coffee beans, and coffee growing at high altitudes is full of vitality. 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 is a famous producer of coffee. 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 Sacapa. Guatemala is bordered by Mexico to the north, Honduras and El Salvador to the south, the Caribbean to the east and the Pacific to the west, with tropical rain forests, volcanic geology, plateau valleys and ever-changing microclimate. Guatemalan coffee once enjoyed the reputation of the best quality coffee in the world. The extra hard coffee beans here are full-grained, delicious and balanced, and the coffee made with it is pure and full-bodied.

Guatemalan coffee beans are mostly cultivated in high-altitude volcanic soils belonging to the most advanced Arabica (Arabica) variety. Due to the long ripening period, the beans are medium and dense (Guatemalan coffee beans are graded not on the basis of particle size, but on the basis of shortcomings), and the bean color is dark turquoise. The unique sour taste of fragrance, mellow, sweetness and freshness is characterized by the aroma and taste of coffee beans hidden in its sour taste. Therefore, coffee beans with this characteristic can be called high-quality coffee beans. The name of the product is suitable for the taste characteristics of baking degree.

The average elevation of dangerous countries is high, with coffee belts distributed above 1500 meters and between 14 and 16 degrees north latitude, it is the easiest to grow extremely hard beans, all of which are washed, of which 45% belong to fine grade, the proportion is quite high, and there are also a small amount of Robusta.

The varieties of coffee in dangerous countries are mainly bourbon, Tibika, Kaduai and Kaddura, and there are also a few yellow bourbon, Rosa and Pacamara. The varieties are quite diverse, but it is also commendable to retain the ancient Tibica and bourbon.

In 1523, the Spaniards came to Guatemala, where they destroyed the local Mayan culture and began to colonize Guatemala. As a result of the annihilation policy of the Spanish colonists, almost all previous Mayan books were destroyed, and only a few books were preserved from 1871 to 1944 before 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 practised democracy and freedom of expression, and the first law in Guatemalan history to protect the interests of workers came into effect in 1954. Abens was overthrown, and Castillo Armas became the new dictator. The new government immediately invalidated all reforms. Enter the period of transition between the right-wing military government and the literati government

Coffee was really introduced into Guatemala in 1750 by Father Jesuit, and the coffee industry was developed by German colonists at the end of the 19th century.
