Guatemala Santa Elisa Nº 370

A Guatemalan sugarcane decaf sourced through Coffee Bird from farms around Atitlan. Muscovado sugar, baked plum, and hazelnut notes make it sweet, complex, and comfortably full-bodied.

It is common to roast Kenyan coffees extremely lightly, to highlight the dominant acidity. But in the case of the Sasini, we were impressed with its intense honey sweetness, and so developed the natural sugars a little further with a longer roast time, and higher temperature. This has resulted in a complex sweetness with subtle florals, black forest fruits and a hint of cocoa on the finish.

From the home of coffee itself, comes this washed lot from the Doyo Co-operative. The heirloom varietals grown here represent the legacy of coffee growing in this region - classic flavours and high desirability. This coffee was roasted to pull out the complex sweetness of sweet and salty malted milk chocolate whilst retaining a deep fruit note of raisin and subtle citrus flavour.

The peaberry grade is a sweet, small and round bean (unlike other beans, which have one flat edge). Once considered a less desirable grade, it is now famed for its rich, characterful flavour. Roasted to a medium-dark level, this coffee is a great expression of Kenyan coffee. Expect fruit notes of raspberry & blackberry, intense molasses and hint of high quality cocoa.
