coffee tasting - Cafe P11

Guatemala

Guatemala is a neighbor of Costa Rica

The soil is similar to Costa Rica,
rich in nitrogen due to its volcanic nature.

Outside the old capital of Guatemala City, the
coffee terraced landscape is breathtaking.
The region grows the highest grades in the
world, a strictly hard bean, indicating the
coffee was grown at altitudes of 4500 feet
or higher. It produces a full bodied, acidic
coffee with a soft mild fruity flavor.

Not long ago, I made contact with another
blogger in Guatemala, who happens to
produce coffee for sale. I decided to try
a new roast he produced and have been
impressed with the flavor.

Although a milder coffee, the flavor
is indeed fruity and even a bit chocolaty,
smooth with no aftertaste.

He sent me the song, that I used
on the following video. Please excuse
how it turned out. It is my first time
using the software.

When you have a chance, do visit
and say hello to Luis on his blog.

I'm finding, although we have never
met, we have a lot more in common
than we both realize.

I would love to try different coffee from around the world! In the town where I work here in the Philippines called Batangas, they have a special local coffee they call Kapeng Barako. It's strong and full bodied. :D
