Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Deep-toned, richly chocolaty. Baking chocolate, pomegranate, marjoram, grapefruit zest, molasses in aroma and small cup. Crisp, lightly satiny mouthfeel; balanced, chocolaty and citrus-toned finish. In cappuccino-scaled milk, baking chocolate and pomegranate notes harmonize nicely.

Notes

Produced by Don Alejandro López at Volcán de Agua and processed at Finca La Esperanza 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 classic single-origin Guatemala, sweetly chocolaty and citrusy, primarily intended for espresso.
