Blind Assessment: Intense, crisp aromatics: blackberry, dark chocolate, caramel, orange in aroma and cup. Rich, sweetly tart acidity; silky mouthfeel. Flavor detail fades a bit in a straightforward finish.
Notes: From the valley surrounding the colonial town of Guatemala Antigua, Guatemala’s most celebrated coffee region, and produced from trees of the Bourbon and Caturra varieties. Finca Puerta Verde is a fourth-generation family farm owned and operated by the Alvarez family since the late 19th century. Barrington Coffee is an artisan roaster dedicated to elite coffees, fresh delivery and roasting that foregrounds the coffee and not the roast.
