Blind Assessment

Sweetly floral and fruit-intense. Lychee, honeysuckle, maple syrup, cocoa nib, sweet lime in aroma and cup. Juicy, high-toned acidity; crisp, silky texture. The finish is very long, with lingering tones of lychee and honeysuckle.

Notes

Produced by Alejandro Solís of Finca Huixoc, entirely of the Geisha variety 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 lovely washed Geisha from Huehuetenango — expressive fruit and floral notes integrate beautifully with chocolate undertones for a graceful, layered cup
