Earlier this year we traveled to the region of Chalatenango in El Salvador to participate in the first ever Best Cup Auction hosted by Cafe Imports. The quality focused producers of this area have been pushing the potential of their coffee with small nano lots that make up less than a standard bag of coffee. These lots were tasted and scored by a jury of international judges of which we were a part of. We fell in love with a 10 pound lot of a naturally processed geisha variety coffee from Jaime Guevara as did many other roasters. The auction pushed the price up to one of the highest prices ever paid for a coffee in El Salvador ending at $35 per pound paid to the producer. Due to the small amount of this coffee we decided to work with Ian Fretheim, Director of Sensory Analysis at Cafe Imports to do small varied roasts of this coffee to ensure that we unlocked everything that this coffee had to offer. The cup is an experience like none other; a harmony of pink lemonade sweetness balanced by a grapefruit acidity and jam packed with notes of cinnamon, orange juice, honey dew, green grape, apple juice and blueberry jam. We couldn't be more grateful to have this coffee and the opportunity to share it with you.
For a very limited time, we will be selling small bags of this coffee so you can try a sample at your home!
