Guatemala Antigua

Antigua is an appellation for coffee, as Champagne and Cognac are for wine, and Genuine Antigua coffees, famous for well over a century, are in no small measure responsible for the high reputation of Guatemala as a coffee origin. Antiguas, with near ideal growing conditions, including rich volcanic soil, and 1,400-1,700 M (4,600-5,600 FT) altitude in the highlands, are considered by many to be among the very best coffee in the world. It produces a cup of intricate delights; with acidity and body in balance with its floral, chocolatey (sometimes hint of smoke and spice) flavors, with a soft buttery finish.
