Summit Drip - El Tambor

Notes

Summit Drip has a classic Guatemalan flavor profile and because of that we often joke that this coffee has great notes of coffee flavor. Taking your first sip you are greeted with a semi-sweet chocolate and a beautiful red fruit note that lingers and compliments the nutty characteristic that appears in the middle of your palate. That semi-sweet chocolate that greeted you on your first sip now lingers on the back of your palate leaving you with a delightful aftertaste.

We call this coffee Summit Drip because its simplicity is exactly what most of us want first thing in the morning. It is grown by Victor Calderon in Fraijanes, Palencia, Guatemala. The Calderon family uses biodynamic agricultural practices, which Victor just calls "common sense". They use only organic practices, without chemicals, and spread clay to combat rust. The finca is on a migration route for butterflies, which flutter all over the area, the rich canopy of trees on the farm forming a haven for them.
