Blind Assessment
Seductively sweet, delicately balanced, high-toned. Meyer lemon notes when hot, chocolate and nut as the cup cools. Medium to light-bodied, but pleasingly silky in mouthfeel.
Notes
Sold whole bean in bulk; $9.40/pound. Antigua, grown in the valley surrounding the austere and lovely colonial town Guatemala Antigua, is Guatemala's most celebrated coffee. McNulty's is one of New York's oldest coffee sellers, and certainly one of its most picturesque, although its coffees apparently are now roasted by another firm. Visit
Who Should Drink It
