Famille Salaverria

Santa Ana is a department of El Salvador in the northwest of the country. It is one of the most famous coffee-growing regions of the country, in the mountainous region around the Santa Ana volcano.

This coffee is sourced from the Salaverria family's processing station of JASAL Group in Apaneca-Ilamatepec, Santa Ana. Most Salvadoran specialty coffee is grown near volcanoes, where the ash and sulphur impart complex flavours. Such is the case here, but with the added benefits of an ocean breeze off the Pacific and shade from macadamia and peach trees to slow maturation.

The resulting cup reminds us of white chocolate and raisin bread.

French press
Very sharp and acidic right off the bat, which almost obscures the notes of honey. Incredibly smooth.

Espresso
Délicieux. En espresso, la note de pain au raisin est vraiment perceptible. Extraction un peu difficile, avec une faible marge de manoeuvre. Note to self: 16.5g in, 36 out, ~30s, 97°.
