Blind Assessment
Richly sweet, balanced and quietly complex. Red apple, dark chocolate, toasted almond, mandarin zest and rose in aroma and cup. Gently bright acidity; velvety-smooth mouthfeel. The sweet-toned finish leads with notes of dark chocolate, red apple and toasted almond.
Notes
Produced on one or more of the Finca Bella Carmona farms in the celebrated Antigua growing region of Guatemala by Luis Pedro Zelaya from trees of the Bourbon and Caturra cultivars. Handlebar Coffee was founded in Santa Barbara, California, in 2011 by two former professional cyclists, and the couple now operates two thriving coffee shops.

Bottom Line
A classic Antigua cup with deep chocolate and nut tones, bright fruit and subtle florals, carried by a generous body and harmonious structure.
