Blind Assessment

Sweetly nut-toned. Roasted hazelnut, cedar, cocoa powder, date, daisy in aroma and cup. Bittersweet structure with gentle acidity; crisp, velvety mouthfeel. The gently drying finish consolidates to cocoa-toned cedar.

Notes

Produced at Beneficio La Esperanza at Finca San Carlos from trees of the Bourbon and Catuai varieties 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 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 friendly, accessible Guatemala cup with pleasing nut and cocoa tones throughout.
