Blind Assessment

Lushly bright and complex. Almond, orange, fresh-cut cedar; hints of chocolate, honey and night-blooming flowers in aroma and cup. Big, sweet-toned acidity; lively, syrupy mouthfeel. Resonantly flavor saturated, gently drying finish.

Notes

Processed by the classic wet or “washed” method: fruit is removed before drying using traditional ferment-and-wash methods and the beans are sun-dried. Produced on Finca La Bolsa from trees of the Bourbon and Caturra varieties of Arabica. Beansmith Coffee is a small-batch roasting company located in La Vista, Nebraska that believes that coffee drinkers should know as much as they can about the coffee they drink, and that there is a story behind every cup, one worth exploring. Visit www.beansmith.com or call 866-663-5295 for more information.

Who Should Drink It

Classic Guatemalan variation on the classic American breakfast cup: sweetly acidy, big-bodied, complex, rich.
