The Excellence of Huehuetenango Highlands

Coffee from Guatemala grows in the high-altitude cloud belts, where large temperature differences between morning and evening create climate conditions that prevent coffee from growing too quickly. The Chinese translation of Huehuetenango Highlands carries an elegant quality. Located in northwestern Guatemala, the highlands boast fertile soil and abundant rainfall. The unique highland basin terrain generates cloud belts - nature's gift providing the perfect coffee-growing environment. Consequently, Huehuetenango Highlands are renowned worldwide for producing exceptional coffee. Most winning coffee beans in Guatemala's annual coffee competitions come from this region, earning excellent international acclaim.

Huehuetenango Highlands

Among Guatemala's three major non-volcanic coffee-producing regions, Huehuetenango Highlands is the driest and highest altitude area. Dry, hot winds from Mexico's Tehuantepec Plateau protect the region's coffee from frost damage, allowing coffee cultivation up to 2,000 meters (6,500 feet). Due to its remote location, all coffee farmers must process their own coffee. Fortunately, the region has countless streams, making it possible to establish small processing plants almost anywhere.

Located in Central America, Guatemala borders the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Caribbean Sea to the east, Mexico to the north, Belize to the northeast, and Honduras and El Salvador to the southeast. Huehuetenango Highlands receives warm, moist Caribbean air from the central mountain ranges, creating a cloud-filled, variable climate. The volcanic region cultivates fertile volcanic soil. Combined with its location at the edge of tectonic plate activity, it has formed a rugged highland basin terrain. Under such diverse terroir conditions, rich and lively coffee characteristics are nurtured, producing high-quality Huehuetenango coffee beans. Coffee beans are classified into seven grades based on altitude - higher altitude produces better quality and more aromatic coffee.
