Blind Assessment

Sweetly roasty, spice-toned. Dark chocolate, date, clove, scorched oak, gardenia in aroma and cup. Gentle, round acidity; crisp, velvety mouthfeel. The finish leads with notes of date and scorched oak.

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. 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. Visit El Gran Cafe’s website for more information.

Bottom Line

A deep-toned, chocolaty, roast-rounded Guatemala cup with undertones of spice-laden florals.
