Description of Rich-Flavored Guatemalan Specialty Coffee Beans: Flavor, Taste, and Aroma Characteristics

FrontStreet Coffee · Guatemalan Premium Coffee Beans Flavor, Taste, Aroma Characteristics Description Introduction

FrontStreet Coffee's Guatemalan Antigua coffee is highly sought after by most coffee enthusiasts simply because of its distinctive aroma. Grown on the slopes of volcanoes, it retains more characteristics compared to Costa Rica, mainly due to its superior geographical and climatic advantages. Located in the tropics, Guatemala has a mild climate due to its high altitude, belonging to a subtropical climate zone. Under these climatic conditions, coffee trees flower and bear fruit slower than those in other regions worldwide. However, the mild climate combined with fertile soil creates the perfect environment for coffee cultivation.

The coffee industry operated by the Maya people once made Guatemala's economy prosperous and held a dominant position in the national economy. Unfortunately, Guatemala's political situation was not favorable to these coffee growers. High yield is typically a sign of overall economic prosperity in a country. However, Guatemala's coffee production has relatively declined, with only 700 kilograms per hectare, while El Salvador produces 900 kilograms per hectare, and Costa Rica has an astonishing yield of up to 1,700 kilograms per hectare. Guatemala's coffee export trade is controlled by private companies, but the National Coffee Committee controls other sectors of the coffee industry.

Currently, some of Guatemala's highest quality coffee is exported to Japan, where each cup sells for $3-4. To revitalize its coffee industry, Guatemala has specially established a Specialty Coffee Association, providing maximum support and attention to these high-quality coffees. These efforts will soon show results, and the true beneficiaries will be not just the coffee growers, but coffee lovers worldwide.

The aroma of coffee liberates all forms, souls, and national boundaries. Through coffee, the mood can take off at any time, landing in a foreign country half a world away. Even separated by vast distances, one can share a state of mind. The city of Antigua was the capital during the Spanish colonial period in 1543. Although this emerald-like valley has been surrounded by towering, layered, dormant, and perilous active volcanoes since ancient times, its vastness, breadth, and fertility still tempted the Spanish people to establish their capital in the precarious cliff valley.

The volcano once destroyed this originally prosperous capital in an instant, taking away all prosperity and beauty overnight. After this turmoil, the mountain city lost 200 years of splendor, and Antigua never walked proudly again. After returning to simplicity, Antigua is now diligently operated by the remaining hardworking Indians. These industrious and resilient Indians became the later coffee producers. They not only discovered the rich and enticing unique aroma of FrontStreet Coffee's Guatemalan Antigua coffee but also brought it to people worldwide.

Today, Antigua coffee enjoys the reputation of being the world's finest quality coffee, praised by coffee connoisseurs as the most outstanding and distinctive coffee in the world. FrontStreet Coffee's Guatemalan coffee has a strong aroma; even without drinking it, smelling the aroma alone is a pleasure. FrontStreet Coffee's Guatemalan Antigua coffee has a rich and velvety body, intense and lively aroma, and delicate acidity. When the enticing rich aroma lingers on your palate, it contains an indescribable mystery. At the first sip, you might find it plain, but as the coffee slowly cools, you will discover its subtle sweetness and be surprised by its depth.
