Blind Assessment

Complex and lively. Red currant, maple syrup, cocoa nib, heirloom rose, mandarin zest in aroma and cup. Juicy, high-toned acidity; creamy mouthfeel. The finish is fruit-sweet, supported by citrus zest.

Notes

Produced by the Sanchez family of Finca San José Ocaña, entirely of the SL28 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. Visit El Gran Cafe’s website for more information.

Bottom Line

A lively, fruit-forward Guatemala-grown SL28 with fine structure and layered sweetness — vibrant yet balanced.
