Guatemala is a small Central American country, but has amazing climatic diversity. The soil, rainfall, altitude and temperatures are perfect for coffee - in fact, multiple types of coffees.
Coffee arrived in Guatemala in the 1700s, from the Caribbean. Originally dominated by the Spanish plantation owners, German interests took over the majority of the Guatemalan coffee trade in 1870s. The Germans invested heavily in the Guatemalan coffee industry and improved the working conditions of the largely Mayan workers.
4Beans on their Guatemalan coffee beans:
"** Medium roast ** Full bodied, rich in flavor with a smoky complex cup and a hint of spice. Plays nice with others."
