Guatemala Acatenango - Finca La Soledad
Summary
Specialty coffee from Finca La Soledad in the Acatenango region of Guatemala, grown by the Pérez family, who have run the farm for five generations. A Bourbon variety processed with the washed method. The cup is balanced and elegant, with notes of roasted peaches, juicy tangerine and cane sugar sweetness.
