Blind Assessment

Sweetly nut-toned, balanced. Hazelnut, cocoa nib, honey, orange zest, cedar in aroma and cup. Gentle acidity; smooth, rounded body. The finish is long, with lingering notes of cocoa nib and citrus.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers at Volcán de Agua, 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. Visit El Gran Cafe’s website for more information.

Bottom Line

A friendly, inviting washed Antigua cup that combines nut and cocoa depth with a subtle lift of citrus brightness.
