【Note】
The best cup to end 2014, Micro lot from Finca El Rincón, Huehuetenango Guatemala. Managed by Molina Family, Finca El Rincón produces high quality coffee in Huehuetenango, the rising star region to produce green beans. Guatemalan coffee has been graded by the altitude but Huehuetenango has screen and defect, The Grading Green Coffee protocol based on GACCS of SCAA. In the states, Olam Specialty Coffee seems to have an access to Finca El Rincón.
Guatemalan coffee has opened the door to the world of coffee over decades ago, and stays the best choice since then. The specialty coffee has changed, and been changing, the coffee market in may ways, some understandable and the other not agreeable. Besides all, if this specialty movements motivates farmers and increases the value of green beans, last 20 years must be valuable. Since Jamaican survives Hemileia vastatrix in these years, there might be "coffee hunters" seeking for the golden goose.
