Coffee Review: Guatemala Finca El Injerto From Kuma Coffee
I just want to thank Kuma Coffee for throwing in this extra bag of coffee for me to review.The Brazil Conado Pulp Natural Peaberry I had awhile back was different from most coffees I’ve had. The salted caramel note threw me off because it wasn’t something I was expecting to be in my coffee. All in all it was very good.
This coffee I am trying from Kuma Coffee is called Guatemala Finca El Injerto which is said to have notes of:
Tangerine Zest, Lime, Currants, & Floral Aromatics.
After the coffee was done brewing, I waited as the coffee cooled.
A dried fruit like note started to creep up under my nose. After that, it hit me… A lime note sprung up from the cup and I had to do a double take. It smelt like someone just squeezed a fresh lime under my nose. After the lime note settled down, I could detect some floral and chocolate play underneath. I had a feeling I was in for a ride with this coffee.
Even though I was excited to see what this coffee tasted like, I was still worried to take that first sip. I remained calm as the last coffee from Kuma was surprisingly good.
The first sip carried a dried fruit note like it did in the aroma, but not a second to soon my face started to squint as the lime note hit my tongue. At first, it caught me off guard a little. I was not expecting for the lime note to be as intense as it was. It definitely packed a punch.
As the coffee cools down, a chocolate note starts to come out and lingers nicely on my tongue.
I have to say it’s one of the odder coffees I’ve had, but it’s quite interesting at the same time. It took me a few cups to really get used to the lime, but it’s actually growing on me.
Overall, I’d give this a 3.5 out of 5 cups.
