Tasting Notes
Fragrance and aroma of dark chocolate and orange with up front flavors of chocolate and nougat. Aftertaste of red fruits, praline and orange. Medium citric acidity with a creamy mouthfeel and medium body.
Roasting Notes
Hacea’s expert roasting guidance for washed Huehuetenango coffees recommends maintaining a steady, moderate level of heat throughout the roast. Few adjustments need to be made to the coffee, as it will roast steadily with consistent gas application. This method takes advantage of the bean’s natural density and consistent rate of rise, avoids stalling in post-crack development, and helps craft a smooth, chocolate-accented cup with balanced acidity and sweetness—the ideal expression for this Guatemalan coffee.
