Guatemala: El Limon, Caturra
San Patricio El Limon
-
A desire to experiment is one of the big reasons that we love buying from San Patricio El Limon; we've been getting coffee from them since first introduced seven years ago by our mutual friend Raul Rodas (2012 World Barista Champion), and they're just getting more and more awesome each year.
Zingy and fresh with lime and twist of lemon, there's a simple white sugar sweetness behind it all and a delicate nectarine on the finish.
