Guatemala

Beans: Guatemala
Roaster: Okino Coffee

Organically grown
Imported individually   

【Impression】
Medium body, light, clear, transparent, lightly scented with orange peel and almond flower, fresh plum, mellow, balanced, rich, cocoa, chestnuts, almonds, layer of maple sugar like sweetness, a touch of shady bitterness, a long lasting aftertaste of mellow sweetness.
Unlike visual of the beans, cups has no tangy bitterness, acid stimulation detected.  Very clear but fulfilled flavor.  
Enjoyable even for non coffee lover.  May enjoy like a cup of bancha tea. 


【Note】 
Coffee is all about "Balance" and "Concatenation".  Regarding "Concatenation", it starts with environments, such as weather, water, soil, farming, cultivation, processing and so on, then continues to roasting and extraction.  This Guatemala shows its pureness in flavor without tangy acidity in bitterness which often detected in "Guatemalan mid dark roast".  Art of roasting, maybe magic of roasting, may enhance beans flavor/uniqueness fully.
