Blind Assessment
Softly fragrant, balanced, pungently sweet. Complex chocolate (fudgy yet crisp) and fruit (lychee, orange zest) with complicating hints of lavender and musk. Gentle but crisp acidity; plush, velvety mouthfeel. The finish is deeply saturated with flavor.
Notes
Grown on the award-winning farm El Socorro y Anexos, this lot is made up entirely of Caturra, a dwarf selection of Bourbon. Calgary-based Fratello is a second-generation boutique coffee roaster owned by three brothers who focus on responsible trade relationships with coffee growers. Visit
Who Should Drink It
The soft, exotic complexity of a fine Guatemala on steroids – powerful yet still subtle.
