Guatemala Antigua Cafe del Flor
Coffee farming practices are similar to other countries in the region, but Guatemala has an abundance of water, volcanic soil, and very distinct micro-climates compared to its neighbors. Although late to coffee, Guatemala recognized and responded to the needs of the emerging specialty coffee sector earlier than most coffee-producing regions. Anacafé, the coffee producers association in Guatemala, identifies seven growing regions: Fraijanes, the plateau south of Guatemala City; Coban, a rainforest region in the center of the country; Huehuetenango, highlands near the border with Mexico; Atitlan, primarily the volcanic mountains on the Pacific side of Lake Atitlan; San Marcos, between Huehuetenango and the Pacific Ocean; Oriente, the driest of the growing regions located near the eastern border with Honduras; and the most famous of all, Antigua, nestled among the volcanoes an hour’s drive southwest of Guatemala City.
Flavor Profile
This is the coffee they are depicting in all the commercials. Perfect for an everyday indulgence. A classic Antigua - it has lively acidity, a heavy body, and flavors of fine chocolate, caramel, and smoky rum. A sought after offering from the small city of Antigua, this coffee has it all. From the fragrant, floral aromatics and vanilla-caramel undertones to the rich chocolate finish, there is little left to be desired.
