Full Cupping Notes
The dry fragrance of a City roast had a sweet honey scent, along with notes of cinnamon-sugar on toast, and faint herbal accents, while Full City offered a spiced chocolate that smelled quite nice. Pouring the hot water on the grinds resulted in saturated sweetness, letting off creamy caramel, and a note of apple baked with brown sugar and butter in the steam. The flavors in the brewed coffee are carried by honeyed sweetness, with unique fruit accents that crown the cup as it cools. Lighter roasts have tart notes of green apple, dried tamarind, and jamaica drink that lend to the acidic impression. The finish is clean and crisp, albeit a little abrupt, and hints at burnt sugars. While the bittersweet chocolate flavors at Full City work nicely as milk drinks, you miss out on some of the subtle fruited complexity. Those who take their coffee 'black', will enjoy dark fruit hints that bring a slightly juicy element to the opaque roast tones.

Origin & Farm Notes
Finca Alonzo is the farm of Francisco Alonzo Chiroy, who started cultivating coffee on this land about 10 years ago. The farm carries his surname, "Alonzo", as a sort of dedication to his family's roots in the region. Located in the small town of Turbula, this remote part of Baja Verapaz straddles the border of Baja Verapaz and Quiche at the foot of Sierra de Chaucús. Finca Alonzo sits at 1750 meters above sea level, and is planted with Catimor and Lempira varieties, both known for disease resistance and high productivity. At just 1.5 hectares, Francisco is able to do most of the farm management with his family, and hires a few extra hands for picking during the harvest peak. The coffee is pulped into sacks where it ferments for around 24 hours, then washed with new water in a basin to remove the remaining fruit mucilage before sending to the drying patios.
