Blind Assessment
Deep aroma of toasty chocolate with hints of baking spices. Balanced chocolate-toned character carries into the cup with suggestions of flowers and sweet orangy citrus. The reoccurring theme of this coffee, chocolate, lingers in the finish, turning from bittersweet toward milk chocolate in the long.
Notes
Grown in the valley surrounding the colonial town of Antigua, Guatemala's most celebrated growing region. Third-generation farmer Cristina Gonzalez produced this Antigua on her farm Finca El Valle. This coffee is part of Green Mountain's "Special Reserve" series of select small lots of seasonally available coffees. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is one of the country's leading specialty roasters, offering a particularly wide-ranging variety of origins and roast styles.
