Origins
Coffee in Guatemala is usually grown at higher altitudes, often on volcanic soil. That gives it unique flavor characteristics. La Antiqua is an area in the central highlands of Guatemala, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is surrounded by 3 volcanoes whose mineral-rich ash benefits crops as a natural fertilizer and retains moisture in the soil.
Coffee production began to develop in Guatemala after 1850. Coffee plants (Coffea arabica) grown at higher altitudes must be protected from cold northern winds. Most of the plantations belong to smaller farmers who are organized by the National Coffee Association, Anacafé. As a result, there is control over the quality of the coffee produced in Guatemala and an supervision over the farmers' working conditions.
In the Antiqua region, the cherry-like fruit of the coffee trees is harvested from January to mid-March almost continuously. Pickers go to the plantations every day to harvest the just-ripe berries. Wet processing means that the berries are put into tanks with water, where they are separated from the poor-quality ones which sink to the bottom. Together with the water, they go through crushing plates, which remove the pulp. Next is fermentation and drying. Finally, the coffee beans are sorted and packaged.
Benefits of coffee
Coffee packaging preview
Our quality aluminum packaging lacks any bold graphics, as we’d rather focus on the taste of our coffee. It always comes fresh thanks to degassing valve, which releases the gases that occur after roasting. Thanks to the hermetic seal, this container helps the contents further keep their freshness and protect them against humidity, light or foreign odors.
