Blind Assessment

Crisply sweet-tart, pleasingly nutty. Red apple, almond brittle, freesia, lime zest, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with brisk acidity; delicate, satiny mouthfeel. Quiet, gently nut-toned finish.

Notes

Produced at Beneficio La Esperanza from trees of the Bourbon, Caturra and Catuaí 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 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 subtly nuanced Guatemala cup with crisp apple and sweet herb notes and undertones of richly sweet almond throughout.
