About Guatemala
Coffee took off in Guatemala in the 1850s, in the rush to find a new crop to replace the collapsing indigo trade. By 1880, it represented 90% of Guatemala’s exports, but wild growth resulted in the displacement of indigenous peoples, tipping the country into a civil war over issues related to land distribution, poverty, hunger and racism, which rumble on even now.

Today, the country ranks in the top 15 coffee producers, with Bourbon, Typical, Caturra and Catuai beans harvested between December and April.
