Background: Guatemala is one of the most widely recognized countries for its high quality coffee. Some of the best regions are Coban, Huehuetenango, Atitlan, and--of course--Antigua. Almost all coffees from the Antigua region become internationally known for their amazing balance. Every thirty years in the Antigua region, volcanic eruptions occur making the soil richer and the coffee, therefore, more refined. Starbucks' Guatemala Antigua is very popular as a 'milder' coffee among its customers who prefer delicate balance to overpowering flavor characteristics. Also, customers are often attracted to the marketed smooth cocoa notes and recognize Starbucks' Guatemala Antigua as a naturally chocolate flavored coffee.
Tasting: Aroma***; a moderately intense lingering floral aroma rises from the cup. Acidity****; highly acidic. Biting on front and sides of the underside of the tongue. Maintains acidity as coffee cools. Body**; very little lingering effect. Some on the back of the tongue. Flavor****; subtle but intriguing. An array of nuts layered with milk chocolate and bright spices.
