In the middle of 18 century, Spanish brought coffee to Guatemala. Many small farmers start to grow coffee and export to Europe. Until now around 50% of Guatemalan works in the coffee industries. Considering the unique volcanoes environment to provide rich soil and it located between Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea, it creates a diverse micro-climate around Guatemala. Anacafé has established a Guatemalan Coffees brand, and defined eight coffee regions under the slogan "A Rainbow of Choices". There are 8 regions that produce outstanding coffee, Acatenango, Antigua, Atitlan, Coban, Fraijanes, Huehuetenango, Nueo Oriente and San Macros. Each region product different features of Coffee. Guatemala coffee has good reputation in specialty coffee industry.
Belux Coffee Roasters carried organic coffee from Atitlan region before and now our signature Guatemala is from Huehuetenango. Today our premium coffee, Pacamara, is from Santa Felisa farm located in Acatenango.
Acatenanago region is forested with mountains around volcanoes, it provides a good shade system and rich soil. High elevation with sun-dried and cool ocean flows make coffee beans hard with complexity of flavors.
