George Howell Coffee
Normally I like to have a few cups before I write a review, but the pourover I had yesterday did not have a bag of beans to go. I had to write these notes down in the coffee shop; and it was another great showing from George Howell.
The Guadalupe Miramar from George Howell Coffee is a stellar example of a Mexican coffee with complex flavor notes. As you taste this light roast, bright citrus notes of tangerine and lime jump out, balanced by undertones of milk chocolate. This helps create an earthy quality that gives the coffee a full-bodied mouthfeel, similar to black tea. This combo makes it an ideal coffee for those seeking a bright yet smooth cup.
Mexican coffee is renowned for its high quality, often exhibiting acidity and depth of flavor. The Guadalupe Miramar hails from Oaxaca, a region celebrated for producing some of the country’s finest beans. The climate and soil of the Oaxaca highlands provide perfect growing conditions for arabica varieties. Mexican coffee farmers have long taken pride in traditional cultivation methods that enhance the character of these lovingly tended crops. This level of care shines through in the Guadalupe Miramar’s distinct profile.
