Guatemala Huehuetenango Boqueroncito

The sweetness in the dry grounds has a whiff of dark sugars, accented by notes of dried raisin and banana chips, along with a sprinkling of bittersweet cocoa powder. Bittersweet roast notes permeate the wet aroma, well-balanced, with accents of baked fruits and cinnamon. In the brewed coffee, the sweetness ranges from unrefined sugars to creamy caramels, offset by roast-toned accents and a moderately bright, fruited dimension. The cup acidity is quite nice at light roast levels, and brings a juicy element to the flavor profile, like pear, and Pink Lady apple. The flavor profile shifts to pleasant bittersweetness that's lightly spiced in the aftertaste, like cinnamon-laced cocoa. Full City roasts have very nice roast intensity, chocolate flavors pushing their way to the front, rich dark chocolate, with an accent note of cooked berries. Body is pronounced in all roasts which really adds to the coffee's overall substantial feel. Aurelio del Cerro is a very versatile coffee that brews a sweet cup all along the roast range, and also makes a knockout espresso in the Full City/Full City+ end of the spectrum.
