It's time for another coffee bean review. This time I'm taking a look at the qualities behind the delicious coffee bean coming a long way from Latin America - Guatemala.
This coffee bean grows in an environment with an altitude of around 1,500 metres above sea level, harvested between December and April. After harvest, the Guatemala bean is washed and dried until it obtains the pleasantly bright acidity. The aroma this beans provides us with is floral (citrus) but the flavour is chocolate, slightly nutty.
There are several designated coffee under the Guatemalan umbrella and for this, Guatemala has got a coffee association so as to establish standards and assure quality (which they seem quite serious in dealing with).
On a personal note, I do suggest mixing at least 20% of a coffee bean like Guatemalan coffee with Arabica bean with which taste is augmented and better accentuated. Perhaps some might disagree but palate and taste are somewhat objective!! :-)
Stay tuned! In the mean time, keep spreading the love for the BEAN!
