Finca Puerta Verde

Berry aroma. Notes of honeysuckle and molasses.
 
From the Antigua region, this fully washed Bourbon and Caturra blend is carefully cultivated at 1540 meters above sea level. This four-generation coffee growing family has been working Puetra Verde since the beginning of the 19th century. Inter-cropping Gravilea trees among the coffee provides protection from the sun giving this coffee ample maturation time.
 
Puerta Verde won 7th place at the 2009 Cup of Excellence.
 
This coffee scored 92 on Coffee Review by Kenneth Davids, July 2010

“Blind Assessment: Flowers, butter and nut in the aroma with a fleeting hint of a buttery coconut-like fruit. In the cup penetrating orange-toned acidity, lightly syrupy mouthfeel and complex layers of flavors: flowers, orange, lemon, nut and fir-like aromatic wood. Dry in the finish with citrus and fir tones lingering distinctly in the long.”

Finca Chichupac

Candy apple aroma leads to a full-bodied cup.   Granny smith apple brightness rounded out by caramelized brown sugar sweetness.
Autumn we love you.
