Blind Assessment

Bright, very sweet. Almond nougat, red plum, maple syrup, baking chocolate, pink grapefruit in aroma and cup. Juicy, malic acidity; crisp, satiny mouthfeel. Resonant finish consolidates to notes of maple syrup and pink grapefruit.

Notes

Produced by Luis Pedro Zelaya Zamora of Hacienda Carmona, from trees of the Bourbon and Caturra varieties of Arabica, and processed by the honey method, in which some of the fruit flesh is left on the beans during the drying process. JBC Coffee Roasters’ vision is simple: “Let the coffee lead the way” through sourcing and roasting the best and most unique coffees available and rewarding the farmers who grow those coffees with substantial premiums.

Bottom Line

This richly nutty, bright Guatemala has a balanced apple-like acidity and leading notes of almond nougat and red plum.
