Blind Assessment

Sweetly citrusy, bright. Orange zest, baking chocolate, agave syrup, freesia, cashew in aroma and cup. Tart-leaning structure with brisk acidity; velvety mouthfeel. The gently drying finish consolidates to notes of baking chocolate and freesia.

Notes

Produced by Andres Fahsen of Finca Retana entirely of the Maracaturra 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 brightly sweet, delicately tart Guatemala Maracaturra complicated by spicy floral notes.
