At harvest time, about 40 harvesters are hired from the village. These people are not people who go out to earn money, but families who come to harvest. And of course the kids picked coffee together. In Brazil, parents are punished by law for letting children carry heavy loads, and here in Guatemala, children are expected to help their families harvest in order to earn a living.

Antigua coffee is sought after by most coffee lovers because of its distinctive aroma. Because it is planted on the belly of volcanoes, it can retain its own characteristics more than Costa Rica, mainly because it has more geographical and climatic advantages than Costa Rica. Guatemala is located in the tropics, but due to its high altitude, the climate is mild and subtropical. Coffee trees bloom and bear fruit slower than coffee trees in other parts of the world under the influence of this climate. However, the mild climate combined with fertile soil creates an excellent environment for growing coffee.

These Mayan-run coffee industries once made Guatemala's economy prosperous and occupied a dominant position in the national economy. Unfortunately, however, the political situation in Guatemala is not conducive to these coffee growers. High output is usually a sign of overall economic prosperity in a country. However, coffee production in Guatemala has declined relatively, to only 700 kg/ha, compared with 900 kg/ha in El Salvador and a staggering 1700 kg/ha in Costa Rica. Guatemala's coffee export trade is controlled by private companies, but the National Coffee Council controls other sectors of the coffee industry.

Some of Guatemala's finest coffee is currently exported to Japan, where it sells for $3-$4 a cup. Guatemala's efforts to revitalize its coffee industry by creating a specialty coffee association and giving maximum funding and attention to high-quality coffee will soon bear fruit, not only for coffee growers but also for coffee lovers around the world
