The extra hard coffee beans here are a rare good coffee with full grains, delicious taste and balanced acidity. In addition, its giant coffee beans have attracted a lot of attention in Guatemala.

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. Today, most of the coffee industry's production takes place in the south of the country. There are seven major coffee producing areas in Guatemala, and the flavor of coffee produced in each area 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, becoming the aristocrat of coffee, among which Antigua Classic Coffee (AntiguaClassic) is highly recommended by global coffee connoisseurs.

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. The whole city of Antigua was destroyed after the great earthquake of 1773, so 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.

In 1982, the leftist guerrillas across the country merged to form the "National Revolutionary Alliance of Guatemala" and armed struggle spread throughout the country. Farmers dissatisfied with the overthrow of the Arbens regime organized a guerrilla group in which more than 100,000 people were killed and millions displaced. In September 1982, the persecution of the local Mayans by the Guatemalan army was close to genocide, and more than 9000 Mayans were killed. Since 1983, persecution on the part of the Government of Guatemala began to decrease and the country began to democratize again. However, the disparity between the rich and the poor has not been solved, and only a small number of people who account for 1% own more than 60% of the arable land and wealth. In 1985, Guatemala reorganized the general election. Guatemala is located in the tropics. The northern and eastern coastal plains have a tropical rain forest climate, while 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. There are several lakes in Guatemala, the largest of which 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.
