Blind Assessment
Sweetly nut- and cocoa-toned. Hazelnut, cocoa powder, magnolia, cedar, golden raisin in aroma and cup. Sweet structure with brisk acidity; velvety mouthfeel. The nut-toned finish is supported by hints of cocoa powder and cedar.
Notes
Produced at Beneficio La Esperanza from trees of the Bourbon, Caturra and Catuai varieties of Arabica and processed by the washed method. 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.
