Blind Assessment

Gently sweet-tart, crisply herbaceous. Baking chocolate, green grape, lemon verbena, fresh-cut oak, sugarcane in aroma and cup. Bright, juicy acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. The sweetly herbaceous finish centers around notes of lemon verbena and sugarcane supported by fresh-cut oak.

Notes

Produced by Finca Santa Elisa entirely of the Geisha 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 confident, pretty washed-process Guatemala Geisha enlivened by crisp chocolate and sweet herb notes throughout the profile.
