El Salvador

MASTER CRAFTED SINGLE ORIGINS

The distinctive aromatics of these coffees are not only linked to the countries of origin, but also to the specific ways of processing coffee, done by local farming communities in the countries of origin.

For Master Origins El Salvador, we’ve sourced an Arabica from under shade trees nestled along the active Santa Ana volcano. Close to the Guatemalan border, the Apaneca-Ilamatepec Mountain Range region is ideal terroir for growing coffee. But beyond knowing how to reap the benefits of altitude, fertile volcanic soil, a temperate climate, and an array of coffee varieties known to yield a good cup, these masters of the bean also employ complex processing methods that add depth to Master Origins El Salvador. A portion of this blend is processed using the red honey process. It’s time-consuming as a method and requires careful attention to adjusting the amount of sweet pulp left on the drying cherry. It brings a distinct jammy sweetness to the blend, adding a complexity of flavour.
