Blind Assessment

Gently fruit-toned, wood-framed. Prune, balsa wood, hazelnut, orange zest, a hint of freesia in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with gently bittersweet acidity; velvety mouthfeel. Notes of balsa and hazelnut drive the finish.

Notes

Produced by Higinio Gómez entirely of the Yellow Caturra variety of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). 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 richly nutty Guatemala cup with notes of dried fruit and a hint of spice-toned florals.
