Caturra: A single-gene mutation of Bourbon, discovered in Brazil in the 1950s. It has stronger production capacity and disease resistance than Bourbon, with comparable flavor quality. It is suitable for cultivation at altitudes of 700-1700 meters, demonstrating strong altitude adaptability, though yields decrease at higher elevations.

Currently, coffee bean grading systems are not standardized worldwide. Each coffee-producing country has its own grading system and terminology. Therefore, you might see the following terms on coffee packaging: "SHB," "AA+," "Supremo," "Extra-Fancy," "Peaberry," etc. These are coffee bean grade names. Commercially sold roasted coffee beans sometimes indicate the grade of single-origin coffee. The more detailed the grade indication, the better the coffee quality typically represents. However, most commercial coffees do not display this information.

Coffee was truly introduced to Guatemala in 1750 by Jesuit priests, and German colonists developed the local coffee industry in the late 19th century. Today, most coffee production occurs in the southern part of the country. Guatemala has seven main coffee-growing regions: Antigua, Coban, Atitlan, Huehuetenango, Fraijanes, Oriente, and San Marcos. Each region has different climatic variations, so coffee beans from each region possess their own unique characteristics. However, generally speaking, Guatemalan coffee presents a gentle and full-bodied overall texture, with elegant aromas and pleasant acidity similar to fruit notes, making it truly the aristocrat of coffees.

Terroir and Growing Conditions

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

Coffee cultivation at Finca La Delicias in the Fraijanes plateau began in 1920. The estate grows diverse varieties including Bourbon, Caturra, and Pacamara. Of the farm's total 205 acres (1 acre = 4046.8 square meters), 173 acres are dedicated to coffee cultivation, while the remaining 32 acres of native forest serve as habitat for various local wildlife species. The farm contains several natural springs that provide sufficient, high-quality irrigation for the coffee plantations during the dry season, as well as power for the coffee processing plant (water for washed processing).

Bourbon coffee (French: Café Bourbon) is coffee produced from Arabica coffee trees of the Bourbon cultivar. Bourbon coffee was originally cultivated on Réunion Island, which was called Île Bourbon before 1789. It was later occupied by France to connect with the African continent and Latin America, and it is now one of the two most popular Arabica coffee production regions globally. Bourbon coffee is typically grown at altitudes of 3500 to 6500 feet (1062-1972 meters).
