Guatemala Antigua Pulcal Inteligente

Pulcal Inteligente is a sweet and balanced coffee, with subtle top-note complexity that always makes it a real highlight in the lineup of Central American coffees. The dry fragrance shows raw sugar and honey-accented sweetness, along with a very nice tea leaf note, and note of vanilla. We found roasts beyond City+ see a boost in fragrant sweet notes in the aroma, creme caramel, honey, and maple. When hot, the brewed coffee shows depth of sweetness, raw honey, ribbons of toffee, caramel, a dash of brown sugar, and delicate hints of herbal tea. The coffee cools to flavor notes of toasted sugar, black tea with lemon, and elegant apple-like acidity. Full City roasts bring out the bittersweet chocolate flavors, like high % cacao chocolate bar with roasted nibs, and a faint hint of dark fruit. Pulcal brews very well, a real crowd-pleasing coffee, that also doubles wonderfully as a single origin espresso ("SO"). Full City shots produce incredibly viscous mouthfeel, dense dark chocolate flavors are accented by a spark of lemon, and a dark fruit tone in the background that adds interest.
