【Impression】
Medium body, very clean, roasted nuts with jasmine like aroma with a tint of lime, silky smooth texture, elegant and mellow with clean finish, a little bitterness as after taste. Mild and consistent body, caramel like creamy feeling with agave syrup sweetness, green apple acidity, matured sweetness of plums and roasted almonds.
Finca Santa Felisa always provides the Guatemalan rich coffee: rich, flavorful, transparent and well-balanced. Flavor relies on somewhat roasting techniques although how flavorful/wonderful green beans are. Guatemalan seems to fit Japanese style roasting, small rot with small-size machine compared with mega size US machines. Probat & Fuji-Loyal are often found, 5kg to 15kg in space-wise, which excel in light to medium roasting. Dark roast, such as Italian roast, may strongly depend on Machine size, and also say low quality beans. Whereas, lighter roasting degree is one of techniques to enhance flavor of High quality beans.
