New 2019/20 Crop!
Alejandro Solis’ unshakable drive to renovate Finca Injertal might come from his responsibility to preserve and improve upon what his grandfather left him. But it seems even more evident that he feels a responsibility to the families who have worked on the estates alongside his family over the generations.
Alejandro has the demeanor of a university professor and he takes an academic approach to cultivating coffee in search of solutions to the impacts of climate change that go way beyond the traditions passed down from his grandfather who established the 270-acre estate in the 1940’s. There is a culture of learning on the estates that goes beyond the classroom. Anacafé (Guatemala’s National Coffee organization) has open access for conducting research on the estate. Alejandro also makes a point of having monthly seminars on conservation so that the families working and living around the estates can actively participate in protecting their natural resources.
Tasting Notes: A great clean classic Guatemalan cup that everyone will enjoy. Lower acidity with a little fuller body, a sweet and semi-fruity edge with a smooth chocolaty undertone. Lighter roasts will put a little winy citric edge to the cup, darker roasts will remove the fruitiness of the cup and provide a bit more baker’s chocolate smokiness.
Roasting Notes: Good from light to dark and easy to roast. Most will like it somewhere in the medium roast range but if you tend to prefer lighter or darker roasts, start with your preference.
