Blind Assessment
Richly sweet, nuanced, multi-layered. Apricot, star jasmine, cocoa nib, cashew, oak in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with delicate acidity; full, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Rich, long, cocoa-toned finish.
Notes
Produced at Beneficio La Esperanza assisted by the team from Finca San Carlos from trees of the Bourbon and Catuai varieties of Arabica and processed by the washed method. El Gran Cafe is a coffee shop located in the heart of Antigua, Guatemala whose mission is to roast and serve organic-certified coffees produced at its own Finca La Esperanza and Finca El Pintado just outside of town. Featured in El Gran Cafe’s lineup are also coffees from friends and neighbors in the region, along with award-winning and exceptional coffees from other regions of Guatemala.

Bottom Line
A rich-toned, resonant, complex Guatemala cup, sweetly fruit- and floral-toned.
