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.

The coffee industry, run by the Mayans, once boomed the Guatemalan economy and dominated the national economy. Unfortunately, the political situation in Guatemala is not good for these coffee growers. High output is usually a sign of a country's overall economic prosperity. However, coffee production in Guatemala has declined relatively, at 700kg per hectare, compared with 900kg per hectare in El Salvador and 1700 kg per hectare in Costa Rica. Guatemalan coffee exports are controlled by private companies, but the National Coffee Commission controls other sectors of the coffee industry.
