El Salvador San Ernesto Honey

Cupping notes

Dark choc, vanilla, pear drops, lime, juicy.

Description

7 hours from being harvested, coffee is pulped at the mill, leaving mucilage still around the parchment. Beans are then layered on a raised bed to dry turned every 20 minutes in the sun for the first 7 days.

The parchment coffee is then cupped as it goes to the warehouse, whilst also being rested for 40 days before shipment, to allow the moisture to even out and the coffee to balance flavour and achieve better consistency. Beans are both machine and hand sorted to remove any defects, and cupped again before shipping.
