Fair Trade coffee from an unspecified location (or locations) in Guatemala. Can be a bit sludgy, though also allows for some brightness if made with care. Acidity and bitterness are prominent, with little character or interesting flavours. This tastes more like a budget coffee than something special.
Guatemala produces a mild, balanced coffee; there are eight defined regions making quality coffee that is considered to be among the best in Central America, a region that in itself is not considered among the most desirable for quality coffee beans.
As the location is not specified in this coffee, and the coffee is not that good, I assume it comes from the lesser quality areas. It's each to their own as regards enjoying coffee; I've noted that the reviewers at coffeejudge often have the opposite taste to me, and two of them seem to like this coffee. There will be others who like it as well.
Percol was founded in 1987, and mainly sells coffee from Central and South America
Rating: 4/10
