Blind Assessment

Richly sweet-savory. Butterscotch, thyme, red apple, hop flowers, cedar in aroma and cup. Balanced acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. Resonant finish consolidates to notes of red apple and butterscotch with cedar undertones.

Notes

Produced by Higinio Gómez of Beneficio La Esperanza, from trees of the Yellow and Red Pacamara varieties of Arabica, and processed by the 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 solid Guatemala Pacamara with a range of aromatic and flavor pleasures, from deep butterscotch to crisp apple to earthy-rich cedar.
