Curator's Notes
Get ready for a sip of world-class Guatemalan coffee: it tastes like a caramel-fudge brownie in your mug! Freshly-roasted from Fonté Coffee Roasters, Guatemala El Tambor is one of our most luxurious coffees—a rich and fudgy medium roast with the soul of fresh-baked brownies. Delicate floral aromas highlight the big chocolate body, and a twist of sugary citrus zest adds a layer of gourmet complexity.
Roaster's Notes
This year marks the fourth consecutive season we have offered Guatemala El Tambor from the farm of Victor Calderon. Victor represents the fifth generation of coffee farmers from a family that has been in coffee for more than 100 years. El Tambor, however, is a newer farm, located just outside of Guatemala City. Victor bought the farm at the beginning of 2001, and has realized his dream of revitalizing a farm at sufficient altitude to specialize in high-quality Arabica production.
This year's El Tambor displays the subtle complexities characteristic of this coffee in a slightly different balance. There's a bit of spice in the dry aroma, and the initial flavor notes are sweet with floral overtones. The refined acidity unfolds more citric than green apple this year, and the layered chocolate finish combines with a bit thicker body to suggest brownies right out of the oven. Notes of sweet lemon flower, candied citrus, chocolate brownie finish.
