Blind Assessment

Sweet yet zesty, vivacious. Honey, peach, ripe lime zest, black tea, a hint of parsley in aroma and cup. Sweetly brisk, lively in structure; light but satiny mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates around floral honey and peach in a crisply sweet-toned finish.

Notes

Produced at Finca Terrazas, entirely from trees of the San Ramon variety of Arabica. This is a wet-processed or “washed” coffee, meaning the fruit skin and pulp were removed from the beans immediately after harvesting and before drying. Founded by roaster Keith Gehrke in 2015, States Coffee is a single-location community-focused coffee shop in downtown Martinez, California, featuring coffee roasted in-house and artisan-made goods.

Bottom Line

A subtly original and pleasing Guatemala: sweet and honey-toned with a delicately brisk complement of aromatics.
