FrontStreet Coffee - Introduction to Guatemala Coffee

Antigua Guatemala is located in the central part of Central America, built in the Panchoy Valley at an altitude of 1500 meters, near the peaks of the Agua and Fuego volcanoes. The central area of this region is threatened by earthquakes. The city was founded in 1543 AD and serves an administrative function.

Guatemala Antigua coffee not only has smooth beans with high hardness and excellent quality, but also features a perfect combination of richness, acidity, and sweetness, with a hint of smoky flavor that further emphasizes its depth and mystery.

Antigua Island is a famous coffee-producing region. Rich volcanic soil, low humidity, strong sunlight, and cool evening breezes characterize the Antigua area. Three spectacular active volcanoes—Agua, Acatenango, and Fuego—form a beautiful valley landscape. The active Fuego volcano occasionally adds misty dust. About every 30 years, the area near Antigua Island suffers from volcanic eruptions, which provides more nitrogen to the already fertile land. Additionally, abundant rainfall and sunshine make this place more suitable for coffee cultivation.

Coffee from Antigua Island is produced at the Camana Estate, where the finest coffee is ELPulcal. Not only is it of excellent quality, but when compared with other Latin American coffees, this coffee can be described as quite complete, richly layered, and an astonishingly fine product. If enjoyed with chocolate, you will make unexpected discoveries. Most importantly, its flavor is very rich with a fuller mouthfeel, and it has a fascinating tobacco taste that has been acclaimed as "the most perfect coffee bean."
