The coffee industry in Guatemala started in the 1800's due to the collapse of indigo.  They are now one of the top producers of coffee in Central America.

Guatemala has three non-volcanic regions, Huehuetenango being the highest and driest.  The region has ideal geographic conditions for the cultivation of excellent coffee with distinct acidity and fruited flavours.
