El Salvador - Side B - Single Origin Espresso

Grown at high altitudes on the renowned Los Pirineos farm in El Salvador, this Bourbon varietal undergoes an innovative carbonic maceration natural process, enhancing its vibrant fruit character. Expect bold notes of raspberry, red grape, and dark chocolate, with a jammy, full-bodied texture.

Perched atop the Tecapa volcano mountain range, Los Pirineos is a farm steeped in history, managed by the Baraona family for over 130 years. The farm boasts one of El Salvador’s largest private seed banks, preserving over 80 coffee varietals. Diego Baraona, along with his dedicated team continue his late father Gilberto’s legacy, combining tradition with innovation, they take great care to maintain clean equipment, ensuring quality processing from beginning to end, and remain current with their processing, de-pulping and drying techniques.

With its unique plateau drying beds, consistent westerly winds, and meticulous processing, Los Pirineos is recognised as one of El Salvador’s finest coffee producers, celebrated for its award-winning microlots and dedication to excellence.

The cherries are handpicked at peak ripeness, sorted and floated to remove low-density fruit. They then undergo a short fermentation in CO₂-flushed tanks to intensify the flavours. Next they are sun-dried in thick layers for two days to develop lactic texture, followed by 18 days of slow shade drying for clarity and complexity.

We’ve sourced this coffee through Project Origin, an importer who shares our commitment to quality, economic sustainability, and environmental sustainability. They ensure farmers are paid premium prices for their premium coffees, provide support and collaboration during processing and fund community and farm-based projects at origin.
