Blind Assessment

Richly sweet, full-bodied. Brown sugar, walnut, dried cherry, molasses, clove in aroma and cup. Crisply sweet-tart acidity; syrupy mouthfeel. Smooth, gently spiced finish.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers at Alotenango and Ciudad Vieja, from trees of the Bourbon, Caturra and Catuaí varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). 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.

Bottom Line

A generous, familiar Antigua coffee with subtle depth and a touch of spice — comforting and engaging.
