El Bosque is Back
The all mighty Guatemala El Bosque is back where it belongs : in our Anfim grinder (of the week).
Last year number 3 of the year.
And Isabelle's coffee for the Barista finals.
This new crop Guatemalan is roasted by Knopes. Still a bit too fresh today, but all the other coffees are sold out so we gonna pull some shots for you anyhow.
Watch out : this one is not for sale yet. No panic though ; it's a 7 kilo sample bag. The coffee should be back in larger quantity's in two weeks.
Here some Joost Leopold El Bosque cupping notes, crop 2009 (Dutch) :
Geur van de bonen: vol, zoet, romige vanille
Uiterlijk van de bonen: egaal, gelijkmatig, middelgebrand (vlak voor de 2e krak)
Geur van de gemalen koffie: vlezig, als paté, doet denken aan Kopi Luwak, aards, warm en vertrouwd
Aroma (geur van de natte koffie): honing, zoet, caramel, marshmellows op de bbq, crema catelana ( gebrande suiker)
Smaak van de hete espresso: vol, zoet, veel body, stevig, lichte afdronk van gepofte kastanjes
Smaak van de koude espresso: fruitiger; zoete dadels
Waardering: 9
