Blind Assessment

Sweet-toned, crisply chocolaty. Baking chocolate, raisin, carnation, cashew, fir in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with brisk acidity; lightly silky mouthfeel. Gently drying, wood-framed finish with hints of carnation and cashew.

Notes

Produced by Finca San José Ocaña entirely of Bourbon variety 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 straightforward, pleasingly familiar Guatemala cup: sweet-toned, chocolaty and nutty, with undertones of gentle aromatic wood notes.
