Another noteworthy mutation is Typica, which originated in Yemen and has since spread across coffee-growing regions worldwide. Typica beans are celebrated for their nuanced flavors, characterized by a harmonious balance of acidity, body, and aromatic richness.

What makes these vending machines even more impressive is their accessibility and inclusivity. Many of them are equipped with features such as braille labels, tactile buttons, and audible instructions, making them user-friendly for people with visual or auditory impairments.

The museum is thoughtfully curated, with exhibits that chronicle the journey of coffee from its origins in Ethiopia to its widespread cultivation and consumption around the globe. One of the highlights of my visit was learning about the intricate process of coffee cultivation, from the planting of the seeds to the harvesting and roasting of the beans. The museum offers detailed explanations and interactive displays that allow visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in producing the perfect cup of coffee.

The story of coffee shipments from Central America to San Francisco before, during, and after World War I is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the global coffee trade. Despite the challenges posed by geopolitical events, the connection between coffee producers and consumers endured, shaping the industry and contributing to the rich tapestry of coffee culture that we savor today. As we enjoy our cups of coffee, let us reflect on the journeys these beans undertook, crossing oceans and navigating through history to bring us the aromatic delight we cherish. 

Green coffee beans are a canvas of potential flavors, waiting to be unlocked through the roasting process. However, this potential can be compromised if the beans are not stored correctly. Exposure to factors like air, light, moisture, and temperature fluctuations can accelerate the aging process and diminish the quality of the beans. Proper storage is, therefore, essential to preserve the integrity of the coffee and ensure a delightful cup every time.

In addition to Spanish there are 28 indigenous dialects spoken in the Department of Santa Rosa and Spanish is a second language for 40% of the population.

Language and cultural diversity is common in all the highlands of Guatemala.
