About this Coffee
These beans were fully washed of all fruit and mucilage before drying, yielding only the pure taste of the beans. What you receive is a floral, fruity coffee with apple and hazelnut sweetness. The darker roasts give up the apples, leaving behind lemon peel and nuts.
El Salvadore is home to a huge range of coffee farms, carefully growing pleasing, mild beans destined for use in top-end blends. However as you go higher up into the mountains, above 1,200 to 1,500 ft, you get into upper echelons of El Salvadore’s growers. Here, these specialty coffee beans are given the designation of Strictly High-Grown, or SHG for short. These beans hold their own, with distinctive flavours and aromas that well deserve your attention.
The beans in this batch are Bourbon, a varietal that excels when grown at high-altitudes, very slowly absorbing nutrients from the volcanic soils and developing their complex flavours. If you enjoy your coffee on the lighter side, you these Bourbon beans will fill your nose with the scents of sweet apples, fresh flowers and lemon citrus.

How to Brew It
20g Coffee : 300ml of water
For easier math, we recommend a ratio of 20g of coffee per 300ml of water. If you are doing a drip method, aim for your grinds to be about the size of coarse salt.
Tips
Resting Your Coffee
Right after roasting, coffee needs some time to chill for a minimum of three days. Our roasting cycle ensures that when you receive the beans, it’ll have rested the minimum needed. However, the flavours will continue to improve over a time. How long? Well that depends on the roasting level you ordered.
Tips
Peak Flavor Time
Your coffee will taste best depending on the roast level:
Light: 7-9 days after roast date
Roaster’s Choice: 5-7 days after roast date
Dark: 3-5 days after roast date
But every bean and person is different so please experiment and find what works for you!

No Pre-Ground Beans?
Unfortunately no. The second you grind, you expose your beans to the nemesis of delicious coffee: oxygen. Grinding introduces so much oxygen that your coffee may stale before you receive it.
To ensure you get the best tasting coffee possible, we recommend you to buy a grinder.
