[SENS.COFFEE] GUATEMALA 危地馬拉 | Chimaltenango San Martin Jilotepeque "Flor de Cafe" SHB EP Fairtrade | Washed 水洗

In San Martin Jilotopeque (Chimaltenango region of Guatemala), 45+ smallholder producers work with Cooperativa Integral San Martineca Flor de Café (Flor de Café) to cultivate Fairtrade specialty coffee whose profits they use to improve their livelihoods and their communities.
Flor de Café works with member farmers to establish sustainable, ecologically friendly farms. Coffee trees are shaded with fruit trees and other native plants. Farmers use living barriers to prevent soil erosion. These plant barriers also provide fodder for their goats. Flor de Café has helped members with steeper farms to create terraces, dikes and ditches. In addition to coffee, most members also grow avocadoes, bananas and jocote, a fruit tree that can be eaten raw, pickled or prepared with a jam and serves with chilies and salt. The cooperative has also helped farmers establish alternative income and sustenance streams including beekeeping and goat herding.

在危地馬拉San Martin Jilotopeque地區，45個小農生產者與Cooperativa Integral San Martineca Flor de Café (簡稱Flor de Café)合作，種植公平貿易精品咖啡豆，以所得利潤改善農民的生計和社區。
Flor de Café這合作社與農夫一起建立可持續、對生態友善的農場。咖啡樹獲其他果樹及原生植物遮蔭；農夫以天然屏障來防止水土流失，這些植物屏障亦為他們的山羊提供飼料。Flor de Café更幫助位於陡峭山坡的農場建造梯田、堤壩和溝渠。除了咖啡以外，大部分農夫亦會種植牛油果、香蕉和紅酸棗。紅酸棗可生吃、醃漬或加果醬、鹽和辣椒一起食用。合作社還會幫助農民增加收入，包括養蜂和放羊。

Flavor 風味:
This coffee from San Martin Jilotepeque makes a nice daily drinking coffee, bittersweet and balanced in medium light roasts with toffee, maple, hint of prune, tobacco and earthy spices. The aroma at medium roast has a smell of malted milk balls, a chocolate-y nose accented by notes of hazelnut-chocolate spread. The flavors in the brewed coffee are sturdy and seem dense, a tightly-packed weft of bittering cocoa, raw sugar, tree nut and sweet cream. Medium dark roasts are intense with bittering cacao flavors and rivaled by caramelized sugar sweetness.

San Martin Jilotopeque這款咖啡很適合日常飲用，中淺度烘焙可保持平衡；散發拖肥、楓糖、李子和淡淡的煙草和香料氣息。
中焙會帶來猶如麥芽牛奶和榛子朱古力的香氣。沖泡後，味道濃郁，糅合了可可的甘苦、原糖、堅果和鮮忌廉的味道。至於中深烘焙，就會引發出可可的甘苦味，與焦糖化的甜度相當匹配。
