Blind Assessment

Crisply sweet-savory, rich-toned. Baking chocolate, red plum, almond, apple blossom, salted caramel in aroma and cup. Gentle, round acidity; very full, satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Chocolaty finish with undertones of almond and salted caramel.

Notes

Produced by Higinio Gómez of Beneficio La Esperanza, from trees of the Yellow Pacamara varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried).  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 pretty Guatemala Pacamara cup characterized by crisp chocolate, stone fruit and floral tones with a throughline of umami-sweet salted caramel.
