Blind Assessment

High-toned, sweet-tart, cocoa-toned. Cocoa nib, pomegranate, magnolia, lemon verbena, sandalwood in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with brisk acidity; very full, syrupy mouthfeel. The finish consolidates to notes of cocoa nib with undertones of magnolia and lemon verbena.

Notes

Produced at 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 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. Visit El Gran Cafe’s website for more information.

Bottom Line

A crisply cocoa-toned Guatemala Geisha with a compelling floral throughline alongside sweet, citrusy herb notes.
