First tasting of the three roasts:

Coffee: Guatemala San Marcos Tajumulco La Igualdad
Nice fragrance - sweet and bright, a little citrusy
Light to medium body
Nutty
Sweet
No specific flavors at the moment

Coffee: Guatemala Fraijanes Palencia San Jorge
Bright fragrance, full
Nice body, not big
Bright and somewhat acidic
Sweet with floral notes

Coffee: Guatemala Oriente Mataquescuintla
Nice rich fragrance
Medium to heavy body (already!)
Deep notes, dark dried fruits
Not acidic at all
Sweet richness, heavy flavors

Of the three, the Oriente stands up to the same light roast best of all three. I'm very excited to try it again on Friday.

The first two may develop with more rest, but at the moment, the Oriente is the City Plus standout.
