Product Overview
Full Cupping Notes

This lot from the Boqueroncito farm is versatile, and quite sweet. The dry grounds of lighter roasts have hints of raisin, baking spices and dark sugar that at Full City are traded for deeper bittersweet cocoa roast tones. Adding hot water brings on a saturated sweetness of brown sugars accented by dried apple and cocoa. This is a superb drinking coffee, with brightly-accented sweetness and balanced hints of fruits and cocoa. City roasts brew up creamy caramel flavors that open up to layers of dark sugars, tart apple and cinnamon-laced cocoa powder. The coffee has incredible body at medium and darker roast levels, deep-toned and chocolatey, with subtle fruit highlights that bring out some juicy aspects in both flavor and texture. I've pulled fantastic single origin espresso shots too, creamy and bittersweet solo and will pair well with milk too. My Full City shots were layered with flavors of dark chocolate, drinking cocoa, black plum and a rindy citrus accent.

Farm Notes

Origin & Farm Notes

Boqueroncito is a farm very close to another we buy from the Hoja Blanca area of Huehuetenango, Finca Regalito. This area, located in the Northern reaches of Huehue at the border with Chiapas, Mexico is called Cuilco. Both Regalito and Boqueroncito are under the care of the Villatoro family, with Aurelio Villatoro overseeing the wet mill, and Antonio, his nephew, specifically looking after these two farms. We like these coffees and go through several of the process batch samples from the farms to select the best qualities they have to offer. Boqueroncito starts at 1,400 meters above sea level and tops out at just under 1,550 meters. While that's not screaming high altitude for Guatemala, coffee is only planted up to about 1750 meters due to the colder climate here, which slows down the rate of cherry maturation, and aids seed density. The main image for this coffee shows Antonio and his uncle Aurelio, who manage the Boqueroncito farm.

We have been fans of Guatemalan coffee for years with Huehuetenango as a standout. The first of year pick delivers a well balanced cup with hazelnut and cacao tones. I roast in a Zippy pop on a propane camp stove outside so even the simplest set up delivers great coffee when the beans are this good.
