This week, I have been enjoying the the El Salvadors that I roasted over the weekend as my morning coffee. Balanced, sweet, hints of fruit and nuts.
It is funny, once you start paying attention to something, you begin to see signs of it everywhere.
- Coffee Review’s recent article Unassuming Beauty: Coffees of El Salvador and Honduras has recently being posted. Check out Kenneth’s Davids recent reviews.
- Counter Culture is featuring an El Salvador trio: Finca Mauritania Gift Pack. A trio of different processed coffees: peaberry, pasa (natural), and pulped natural. They are also featuring Aida’s Grand Reserve
- Ritual Coffee Roasters is currently featuring 4 coffees from El Salvador.
- Terroir is featuring 3 currently.
- Stumptown Kilimanjaro
- Intelligentsia 2
A friend pointed out that El Salvador has been experimenting more with processing: washed, natural and pulped. They have been moving out of commodity grade and into specialty grade for some time. This is probably why we are seeing more experimentation. When I was looking at some green coffee, it was very consistent. Hardly any chips, brokens… Another factor their coffee is being recognized for consistent processing. In general the coffee has good acidity, body and can be complimented by unique processing.
So if coffee was to be spotlighted seasonally, order some El Salvador today. Multiple offerings seems to be the current trend. For those who are indecisive, like me, you can order as assortment and compare.
