Belmond El Encanto's signature coffee. The journey took us to renowned plantations in Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Ethiopia and Kenya. Our focus was to craft a one-of-a-kind blend with these prized coffee beans, and lovingly infuse it with indulgent flavors to provide Belmond El Encanto guests with a coffee experience far beyond exceptional. Each of the meticulously selected origin coffees, extraordinary in their own right, possessed characteristics nurtured by an ideal combination of growing conditions including soil, altitude, precipitation, sunlight and shade, just to name a few. In our equivalent of a test kitchen, Trinidad Coffee Company's master roaster called upon his decades of blending and roasting experience, and in true artisan fashion, honed and refined the Belmond El Encanto blend into a symphony of nuances, notes and flavors. The hand-selected cast of characters is led by a micro-lot Guatemalan coffee from the famed Antigua region. Renowned for its incredibly clean and crisp profile, it contributes a subtle fruitiness, notably Asian pear, to our blend. Continuing along this vein, we sought out a Kenya AA to bolster the subtle sweetness with hints of stone fruit. From neighboring Ethiopia we brought in an exquisite Yirgacheffe to infuse the blend with browned sugar depth, which is particularly developed in a darker roast. Back across the Atlantic, we uncovered in the Tarrazu region of Costa Rica, the perfect element to create the viscous, caramelly and lively character that would deepen the cup. Finally, a Colombia Narino Supremo SS 17/18, with its classic balance, to tie all of these flavors together in perfect harmony, and melt them elegantly into a memorable finish. Belmond El Encanto custom-roasted coffee blend: a complex, yet exceptionally balanced coffee, roasted to perfection, and lovingly prepared for Belmond El Encanto guests
