GUATEMALA ANTIGUA:
Antigua Iglesias comes from the plantations Santo Tomas and El Vallecito. Both are located on the slopes of Volcano Aqua where the coffee is grown under Gravilea trees in rich volcanic soil. After harvest, the coffee is brought to the famous mill Concepcion Escuintla. During the coffee’s time at Concepcion it is sun-dried on patios, separated by size, density, and color. The result is a superior cup with extreme complexities.
GUATEMALA ANTIGUA:
Antigua is famous for top quality coffees and its incredibly beautiful area. Two large looming volcanos and a dense rainforest providing humidity to the plateau where the growing conditions are nearly perfect is where this exceptional Guatemalan coffee is grown. The Antigua basin is an astoundingly beautiful region to visit that is classified as a World Heritage Site to retain the unbelievable scenery.
GUATEMALA ANTIGUA:
Is there any more of a versatile coffee that a good Guatemalan coffee? This coffee is great at almost any roast level, it works with almost any brewing style, including cold brews, French presses, espressos, americanas, cappuccinos, and lattes. If you prefer a piquant cup go with a medium roast or lighter. Many coffee drinkers prefer their Guatemalan coffees at a Full City Roast or darker where the chocolate/spice tones come to the front in a much more vibrant way.
CUP NOTES:
This is a rich tasting, full-bodied coffee especially at darker roasts, nice smooth and creamy mouthfeel, with elegant chocolaty notes throughout. Pleasant slight nutmeg spice notes appear with nuances of strawberry, and kiwi. There is a rich caramel like sweetness in the finish. Balanced and complex, with an intense chocolaty aroma.
A premium Guatemalan coffee processed at the famous Concepcion Escuintla Mill that produces a consistent cup with beautiful complexity!
