Best coffee in the world
We produce the best coffee in the world: coffee from Antigua. I said it on my May 1st post and again on May 26th, but I am not the only one saying it. Here you see a sign at the entrance of a Cafe near my office.
Sidenote:
The pound here cost Q45 (quetzal is the local coin), which is about US$6. The minimum wage salary for the day is Q40 which means about 60% of Guatemalans can NOT have this coffee.
What a paradox, they produce, but they can not have it.

Guatemala coffee is some of the best coffee I have ever had. My wifes sister just brought some back from their moms coffee farm in the small town of Michicoy (Huehuetenago) a couple of days ago. Good stuff.

I don’t drink coffee so I have never tried Guatemalan coffee but I think it’s a shame that the people who produce it can’t afford it.

Sompopo, The coffee from Huehuetenago is the best coffee produced in Guatemala.
Kris and Carol, yes indeed, it is pity that the people who grow it can not afford it. Some people have their own little parcel of land (huerta in Spanish) and they grow coffee. Whatever they do not sell, they consume themselves.

I´m looking for photos of the coffee plantations and processing from both Antigua and Atitlan regions. Do you have any?
I´m leaving this afternoon for Antigua and Atitlan from Costa Rica. Will be in the area for 5 days. Cell #1.303.618.8891.
Thanks.

[...] Sometimes, you just feel like abandoning all reason and common sense in order to have bacon for breakfast. Sure, fresh fruits with honey are tasty and colorful, but it doesn’t compare with a ‘real’ antigüeño breakfast with refried black beans, eggs, charcoal broiled tomatoes, bacon and strong cup of the best coffee in the world.

These days the mail situation in USA is not much better. Slower, more expensive. I have lived in the same house for 15 years but often my mail is “Returned to sender. Moved, left no forwarding address.” When I get home in early Oct., I will send a card. Between our postal system and yours, you may get it in 10 years or so???
