Guatemala La Garita

DIRECT TRADE COFFEE

Description

This washed lot with a day and a half of pre-fermentation shows depth and precision at the same time, harnessing armonas of peach and other yellow stone fruit that lead to flavours of jasmine flowers, bergamot orange and sweet nectar. A spectacular micro lot, La Garita Bourbon is the best we have experienced from Guatemala this year.

Sourced from Guatemala, the La Garita lot by 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters highlights the classic profile of the Bourbon varietal. This coffee undergoes a washed process, a technique often utilized to emphasize the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean. While washed coffees are frequently celebrated for their clean, vibrant profiles, the specific character of this lot presents a nuanced sensory experience featuring notes of peach, yellow stone fruit, jasmine flowers, bergamot orange, and sweet nectar.

When evaluating such complex profiles, enthusiasts often consult a flavor wheel to better identify the delicate interplay between floral aromatics and stone fruit sweetness. By focusing on the traditional processing methods and the specific heritage of the Bourbon plant, this selection offers a refined look at the regional characteristics that define high-quality Guatemalan production.
