Guatemala is home to around 775 million coffee trees. Approximately 25% of Guatemala’s working population makes a living from coffee production. Temperatures in the coastal region range from 25 to 33 C°. The dry season runs from September to April, and the rainy season from May to October, with significantly heavier rainfall on the Atlantic coast. The most common coffee plant is the Arabica species. Washed Robusta is also found on the Pacific coast. Coffee plants bloom from January to March. The harvest then runs from August/September through April. The coffee is subsequently processed using the wet method and dried for around 2–3 weeks in the sun on flat surfaces, as well as in wood-fired drum dryers. The coffee beans are then hand-sorted. The Pampojila plantation is located in one of Guatemala’s most beautiful areas, near Lake Atitlán and surrounded by three volcanoes. Nestled among mountains in a nature reserve, the plantation covers around 300 hectares of growing area, with ancient trees and rare animals. The coffee valleys lie at elevations of 1,500 to 1,700 m, ideal for producing excellent coffee. It grows in the shade of a special tree, the Chalúm tree (Inga Xalapensis). This legume tree can convert nitrogen compounds into amino acids that coffee plants need to grow.
