Guatemala: La Flor Del Cafe, Antigua

Encircled by the volcanoes Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango, Antigua’s cool nights and dry harvest winds slow ripening and lock in clean sweetness—why the region became Guatemala’s benchmark for balance. La Flor del Café selections emphasize meticulous picking and washed milling for tidy structure and polished cup clarity. Held at a measured medium roast, the profile centers on milk chocolate and cane‑caramel over a neat cocoa frame, lifted by orange‑citrus and a gentle red‑apple note. Acidity reads medium and precise; texture is silky and cohesive. Expect a crisp, cane‑sweet finish with cocoa‑citrus persistence—refined enough for purists, comforting for daily drinkers.
