Your guide to Guatemala Coffee

  • History of coffee in Guatemala

    Coffee was discovered growing in Guatemala during the mid-18th century. It was only during the mid-19th century that it was grown commercially. Its potential as a cash crop was clear to the country, and Guatemala distributed one millions seeds across the country to encourage and promote a thriving coffee sector. The flip side to Guatemala’s explosive industry meant that there was a lot of land loss for many indigenous farmers. Civil war during the mid-20th century resulted in widespread damage and destruction to many coffee farms. Nowadays, Guatemala has recovered its industry, and is now established as a major global producer. It holds a solid reputation for high quality coffee and a supported sustainable industry. This coffee is known for its balance of floral aromas, nutty chocolate flavours, and a deep wine-like acidity.
