Product Overview
Full Cupping Notes

The fragrance from this Hunapu lot smelled lightly sweetened with toasted sugar, nutty hints, and a nice cocoa dimension. Images of caramel and warming spices emerged in the steam after pouring hot water on the grounds, with an almond pastry note that brought to mind marzipan. City+ roasts were balanced and moderately sweet, accented by a light caramel glaze, chocolate chips and hints of creamy hazelnut and malted beer grains. The acidity level was pleasantly crisp, adding a faint zested orange note to my lighter roasts, and a bit like barley green tea in the aftertaste. The coffee produces some very nice chocolate roast tones, especially at Full City or darker. Our darkest roast was right around Full City (no 2nd Crack) and had very pleasant chocolate notes of Nutella chocolate-hazelnut spread, cocoa powder with cinnamon and a hint of smoked dark chocolate in the finish. Dark roasts still have a hint of acidity, but will work well as espresso nonetheless, as it has in previous years.

Farm Notes

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.
