Alejandro Rodriguez - Brew Chart & Impressions
We love Guatemalan coffees, that is no secret. And every year, the coffee Semilla bring back from El Volcancito and Mataquescuintla are better than the year before.
This coffee from Alejandro is a beautiful, smooth and unpretentious coffee that is good in any methods, with or without milk.
The fruitiness is subtle and reminded us of pears, and the vanilla sweetness is something we never get tired of. Sweet and floral is a beautiful combination.
The coffee also offers strong brown sugar and pecan notes.
