Guatemala Antigua Hunapu Ciudad Vieja
Guatemala Antigua Hunapu Ciudad Vieja
Guatemala Antigua Hunapu Ciudad Vieja
Balanced bittersweet base flavors, brown sugar, semi-sweet chocolate, cinnamon cocoa, candied nut, hint of apple. Perfect "dual purpose" coffee for brewing and single origin espresso. City to Full City+. Good for espresso.
Full Cupping Notes
The fragrance from this Hunapu lot smelled sweet with light brown sugar and vanilla bean notes, as well as a milk chocolate scent. Images of caramel, dried apple and dark tea emerged in the steam after pouring hot water on the grounds, with hints of candied nut and malted cocoa. City+ roasts were balanced and bittersweet, notes of semi-sweet chocolate chips and brown sugars came through as the cup cooled down to a drinking temperature, accented by hints of whole spices. The acidity level was pleasantly mild, adding a faint apple-like crispness in my lighter roasts, while much more muted at Full City. The finish is marked by spice and cocoa, culminating in a flavor of cinnamon-spiced hot chocolate. It's a big-bodied Guatemalan brew that makes a great dual purpose brew/espresso option, as well as a coffee that works well with cream.

Origin & Farm Notes
Hunapu is the indigenous name for Volcan de Agua, not far from Antigua's main center where we buy nearly half our Guatemalan coffees each year. But this reach has expanded to several of the outlying areas thanks to the intermediary we work with, who also happens to be both a farmer and mill manager (and just about every other coffee related job title!). Unlike the "estate" coffees we're used to from Antigua, the Hunapu area is comprised of small scale farmers whose coffee fields are planted on the volcano's slopes across an altitude range of 1600 to 1900 meters above sea level. Roughly 450 farmers are currently selling their coffee to the mill in Antigua where each lot is assessed for quality, and separated accordingly. This is a micro-region separation from "Ciudad Vieja", made up mostly of cultivars Bourbon, Caturra, and Catuaí.
