Blind Assessment
A gently roast-influenced version of the classic Antigua cup: flowers, nut, pear-like fruit and cocoaish chocolate hints in aroma and cup. Richly roast-rounded acidity, syrupy body, very slight heaviness in the finish.
Notes
El Bosque (“The Forest”) is a densely shaded coffee farm located in the celebrated growing region around the colonial town of Antigua, Guatemala. Produced entirely from trees of the heirloom Bourbon variety of Arabica. Barismo is a small batch roaster and retailer focused on estate coffees and manual brewing methods. Visit
