Blind Assessment

Round and honey-sweet. Toffee, red grape, cocoa, almond butter, tangerine in aroma and cup. Gently bright acidity; crisp, velvety mouthfeel. Quietly confident, sweet-toned finish.

Notes

Produced by Andres Fahsen of Finca Patzibar entirely of the Catuai variety of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). USDA Certified Organic. 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.

Bottom Line

A polished, balanced washed Guatemala with harmonious sweetness and a nuanced grape throughline.
