Blind Assessment: Delicately sweet-tart. Lime zest, baking chocolate, Bing cherry, almond, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with gently bright acidity; full, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Citrusy, nut-toned finish with undertones of baking chocolate and cedar.

Notes: Produced by Aurelio Villatoro of Finca La Esperanza from trees of the Bourbon and Caturra varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried).

The Bottom Line: An engaging, multi-layered, quietly confident Guatemala cup.
