From time to time some very unique and beautiful coffees slip through the cracks of a competition as large as Cup of Excellence. Finca Trinidad is one such coffee. Finca Trinidad is a beautiful 10 bag Guatemalan microlot that comes to us via a unique opportunity from Edwin Martinez, a coffee importer and producer well-known for his work with Onyx Coffee and Finca Vista Hermosa. Over 70,000 coffee producers in Guatemala submitted their coffees to the preliminary selection of CoE. Edwin cupped and then purchased 14 lots that just missed the cut for the final international jury selection, explaining, “some of these coffees are extremely distinctive and break the mold for typical characteristics of their region and others are a solid and exceptional representation of something very characteristic and exemplary of its region.” Grown by Armando Melgar on a small farm just outside of San José Pinula, this coffee is considered a strictly hard bean (SHB), meaning that the coffee cherry took its time to develop, lending a compact, elegant, soft mouthfeel and a very refreshing guava-like sweet acidity.
