Turm Kaffee

This specialty coffee comes from the Finca El Limonar in the highlands of Huehuetenango. The farm is located outside the village of La Libertad, about 50 km from the Mexican border, in the northwest of Guatemala. The owner, Dona Rosa Maria Ovalle, oversees her 140-hectare farm on the steep slopes of the Pena Blanca mountain along with her son. The Finca El Limonar has been in the family since 1955. The farm primarily grows Arabica varieties of Bourbon, Typica, and Caturra. The coffee is cultivated on steep slopes at an altitude of up to 1,900 meters above sea level. The name "El Limonar" comes from the lime trees that are planted on the farm as shade trees. The coffee presents dark cherry notes, elegantly and balanced with a hint of amaretto and caramelized toffee, paired with chocolate and lime. Rich and creamy, it offers a complexity of fullness and flavors that leave a buttery and long-lasting mouthfeel in the sweet finish.

Degree of roasting

The so-called roasting degree is one of the most important factors when roasting coffee. It measures the different roasting results that can be obtained when roasting coffee. You can influence the degree of roasting by varying the temperature and roasting time. The degree of roasting has a significant influence on the aroma, taste and intended use of the coffee.

By the way, you can measure the degree of roasting either with a colorimeter or by tasting. Roasters usually want to enhance the coffee's inherent flavors and achieve an appropriate degree of roast. Typically, light roasted coffee is more acidic, while dark roasted coffee is more bitter. Fruity flavors are also more common in light roasts, while smoky flavors and roasted aromas are more common in heavily roasted coffee.

Less strongly roasted coffee also tastes fruitier due to the high proportion of the organic compound 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. If coffee beans are roasted for longer, these fruity aromas decompose. At the same time, the number of sulphur compounds increases, resulting in smoky and roasted aromas.

As a rule of thumb, you can assume that a light roast brings out the character of the green coffee better. By the way, it is easier to distinguish light roasted beans from each other than dark ones.
