Blind Assessment

Sweetly herb- and spice-toned. Lemon verbena, plum, clove, oak, maple syrup in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with delicate acidity; crisp, silky mouthfeel. The finish leads with notes of lemon verbena and plum in the short, consolidating to fragrant oak in the long.

Notes

Produced at Beneficio La Esperanza from trees of the Bourbon, Caturra and Caturai varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional 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.

Bottom Line

A crisp, sweetly herbaceousrr Guatemala cup with warming spice tones throughout.
