Roast: Medium

Certification: Direct Trade

Tasting Notes:
Located in Santa Rosa and managed by descendants of Don Lizandro – who was a coffee-grower in the 18th century, Finca Santa Ana represents our first Direct Trade offering from Guatemala. This farm finished 4th in this year's Guatemala Cup of Excellence (.30th of a point from 1st) and this lot is a fine example of a Cup of Excellence-worthy coffee. The carefully supervised quality control at the farm is evident in the cup: sweet pineapple and tropical fruit are balanced with vanilla, caramel, and roasted nuts in this distinct, poised offering.
From Coffee Review: "Pungent night flowers, lemon and a molasses-like dark chocolate dominate in aroma and cup...Lightly syrupy mouthfeel, gentle, almost muted acidity."
