El Salvador, Finca Los Angeles - Espresso

Highlights

“Fjord's espresso roast of the same Pacamara from Finca Los Angeles in Apaneca, El Salvador: an anaerobic natural processed whole in sealed tanks. As espresso it is syrupy and sweet, with a jammy cherry character sitting over dark chocolate; in milk it drifts toward Biscoff biscuit and cocoa, with a long, clean finish. The 16-hectare farm, run by Los Naranjos Coffee, is planted almost entirely to Pacamara on unusually flat terrain; cherry is selected by Brix, fermented whole under close pH monitoring and dried slowly on raised beds. Roasted for espresso and dosed to keep the fruit bright without the boozy edges. Dial-in suggestion: start around a 1:2 yield in 28-32 seconds at 93 C. Producer: Finca Los Angeles (Los Naranjos Coffee). Altitude: 1,380 m.a.s.l. 250 g bag at EUR 20.90.”
