Tasting

On the volcanic cordillera of Apaneca‑Ilamatepec, farms like La Esperanza helped revive El Salvador’s quality reputation after decades of upheaval—replanting Bourbon and Pacas, tightening selective picking, and investing in clean washed milling. SHG density from these high slopes tolerates deeper roasting without collapsing sweetness. Taken dark with an extended Maillard, the cup settles into bittersweet chocolate and molasses, with toffee and roasted‑walnut tones anchoring the mid‑palate. Acidity falls to a soft, integrated hum; texture turns heavy and coating. Expect a measured, chocolate‑sweet finish that reflects disciplined wet‑mill practice and Rainforest Alliance standards—comforting, polished, and steady.
