Guatemala coffee country
The story goes that coffee was first introduced to Guatemala around 1750 by the Jesuits. As in El Salvador, coffee did not become an important crop in Guatemala until 1856, when the invention of chemical dyes reduced the demand for indigo (a natural pigment derived from various species of plants), which was the main profitable crop at the time. It gave way to coffee.
Guatemala has a diverse topography, with mountains, volcanic soil, plains and numerous microclimates that give coffee a very distinctive and versatile aroma profile. 99.6% of the coffee produced here consists of Arabica beans.
A wide range of flavors is present in Guatemala's coffees, from lighter, very sweet, fruity and complex coffees to the heavier, richer and more chocolatey coffees.
