Guatemala — La Esperanza

la esperanza is a guatemalan coffee from huehuetenango, one of the country's most respected growing regions, roasted by assembly coffee in london. it produces stone fruit flavors with a winey quality, suggesting ripe, fermented-fruit complexity in the cup. that winey character often works well with brewing methods that preserve body and acidity, such as a cafetiere or moka pot, though a pour-over will highlight the cleaner stone fruit side. it suits drinkers who enjoy fruit-forward, slightly complex cups with character rather than straightforward, neutral sweetness.
