  • Guatemala La Pila Palencia

Roast: Medium Review Date: October 2010
Origin: Palencia, Guatemala Department, Guatemala. Price: $9.80/12 oz.
 

Blind Assessment: Deep and sustained complexity in the aroma: pruny fruit, dark chocolate, citrus, molasses, cedar. In the cup the tone lifts and a crisper, more wine-like fruit dominates: citrus, tart berry, carrying directly into a long, resonant finish. Very rich acidity, lightly syrupy mouthfeel.

Notes: Mr. Espresso is a San Francisco Bay Area wholesale roaster that slow-roasts its coffees using traditional oak-fired roasting machines. Visit www.mrespresso.com or call 510-287-5200 for more information.

Who Should Drink It: Slightly exotic, rich, complex.

Coffee, more so than wine, is a continually changing product. Recent reviews, whether written by Coffee Review or readers, are most likely to reflect current versions of a given coffee.
