Guatemala Huehuetenango Unión Cantinil
Crowd-pleasing flavors across a wide roast spectrum, bittersweet and balanced, notes of sweet baked goods, chocolate crinkle cookie, caramel-almond, dark-toned cocoa, walnut, a glint of acidity. City+ to Full City+. Good for espresso.
Full Cupping Notes
This Huehuetenango lot offers consistent, well-balanced flavors, and works great from medium to dark roast levels. I sensed caramel and cocoa in the dry fragrance, with light nutty hints in the background, and hazelnut chocolate in the wet aroma. This coffee brews crowd-pleasing flavors across a fairly wide roast spectrum, bittersweet balance, with a glint of acidity that structures mild top note hints. City+ roasts brought out accents of toasted nut from beneath compact flavor profile of sweet baked goods, like chocolate crinkle cookie, and caramel-almond bars. Full City roasts swells with a deep-toned flavors of dark chocolate, cocoa bittering in the back end, and a note of walnut if the aftertaste. I think you're going to find a versatile espresso here too. On it's own, Unión Cantinil has layers of dense chocolate/cocoa flavors, and should bring body and bittersweetness to an espresso blend.

Origin & Farm Notes
The municipality of Unión Cantinil lies to the East of La Libertad, in the mountainous region of Huehuetenango. The hilly peaks of the Sierra De Los Cuchumatanes offer high altitude zones for farming coffee, up to 1600 meters above sea level in this particular area. This is a blended lot made up of several different small lots of coffee. The farmers on average are around 1 hectare in size, and most are growing some combination of Caturra, Catuaí, Bourbon and Pache coffee cultivars. Each farmer is responsible for processing their own coffee, which is generally processed using small depulpers to remove the outer cherry and fruit, then fermented in tanks with water to remove the mucilage, and dried on cement patios over the course of 1 to 2 weeks.
