THE PRODUCER

Ustiberta Alvarez has a 3 hectare farm in the beautiful La Palma region of Chalatenango, producing both washed and natural coffees. Her farm is elevated at 1400 metres and shaded by banana and apple trees, providing the perfect conditions for the Pacas arabica coffee (first discovered in El Salvador).

FIELD

FAMILIAR FLAVOURS.
CAREFULLY CURATED

This is a unique micro-lot of classic, washed coffee sourced from ripe cherries. The coffee is pulped on the same day as harvesting, fermented in open tanks for up to 24 hours, washed clean and then gently sun-dried on raised African beds.

Please note we only hold limited stock of these products, but we aim to roast at least two times a week (T&Cs apply)

 

How to brew


We normally lean toward filter brewing for the producer series as the method highlights the more complex and delicate flavours in lighter roasted coffee. As always, we default to the industry standard of 60g of coffee per litre of water as a starting point.

For espresso try a 1:2.5 brew ratio and shot times of around 24-30 seconds.

Tasting notes


A beautifully balanced and smooth coffee with layers of caramelized flavours. Rich toffee, citrus and apple notes entwined with a syrupy texture and a gently zesty finish. Very drinkable, and perfect for both espresso and soft brew styles.
