Blind Assessment

Richly sweet, deeply nut-toned. Hazelnut, apricot, tangerine, cedar, jasmine in aroma and cup. Crisp, malic (apple-like) acidity; velvety-smooth mouthfeel. Floral-toned finish supported by rich hazelnut notes.

Notes

Produced by Josué Morales of Finca La Esperanza entirely of the Villa Sarchi variety of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). Certified USDA Organic. 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.

Bottom Line

This Guatemala leads with complex nut and floral tones — quietly confident, deeply expressive.
