Coffee was truly introduced to Guatemala in 1750 by Jesuit priests, and German colonists developed the coffee industry here in the late 19th century. Today, most coffee production takes place in the southern part of the country. Guatemala has seven main coffee-producing regions: Antigua, Coban, Atitlan, Huehuetenango, Fraijanes, Oriente, and San Marcos. Each region has different climate variations, so coffee beans from each region possess their own unique characteristics. Generally speaking, Guatemalan coffee presents a gentle and rich overall texture, with elegant aromas and a warm, pleasant acidity similar to fruit acids, establishing itself as the nobility among coffees.

Volcanic soil, high altitude, humid and rainy climate, and active volcanic activity have created the unique geographical conditions of the Fraijanes plateau region. The Pacaya volcano within this area is the most active of Guatemala's three still-erupting volcanoes, often shrouding the Fraijanes plateau in a thin layer of ash and providing abundant minerals to the soil. The drying period for coffee beans coincides with the season when the Fraijanes plateau receives ample sunlight. Although mornings are often cloudy and foggy, this quickly dissipates, ensuring excellent sun-drying conditions in the region.
