Origin

El Salvador shapes this coffee

Pacific volcanic range

Apaneca-Ilamatepec and western mountains · 13.79, -88.90

Terrain

Pacific volcanic ranges with farms that often preserve Bourbon and Pacamara genetics.

Seed context

Pacamara and Bourbon-family seeds can create large-bean sweetness and creamy body.

Cup expectation

Expect caramel, cacao, stone fruit and a softer acidity than many East African coffees.

Brew context

Kalita, AeroPress and espresso-style recipes suit the creamy structure.
