El Salvador Buena Vista
Cupping notes
Description
The Buena Vista microlot comes from a plot at the top of the Molino farm, named rather straightforwardly for the beautiful view that opens up from there.
The varietals used are just the Bourbon and its close relative, Pacas.
The green-tipped dwarf varietal Pacas is fairly common in Central America, a natural single gene mutation of Bourbon. Being smaller results in a potential higher yield for the farmer, as trees can be planted closer together allowing for a greater density per hectare.
Named after the owners of the farm it was first spotted on, the Pacas family, it was discovered in the Santa Ana region back in 1949 and now accounts for around 25% of El Salvador’s coffee production.
