guatemalan estate update

and a quick confirmation from don schoenholt tells me that the delicious gillies guatemala antigua shb i enjoyed this morning is the famed los volcanes estate, a washed coffee of the typica variety.

it's a medium-bright coffee, with a pleasant body. i love its floral, incense-like, woody spice perfume. in fact, for some reason it reminds me of mitsouko. . .but don insists it's closer to shalimar due to the cup's sweet finish.

how long ago was i writing that i didn't really like many centrals? i'll have to eat my biscotti on this one; the flavor gets more intriguing as the coffee cools.
