ANAEROBIC NATURAL COFFEE FROM EL SALVADOR

El Carmen Estate is located at 1300m above sea level in El Salvador’s Apaneca-llamatepec mountain range, one of the Central America’s prime specialty coffee producing areas. The estate has been farmed by the Alfaro family for over a century.  El Carmen lies in the heart of El Salvador’s main ‘protected highway’ of forest, a part of the mesoamerican Biological Corridor System that stretches all the way from Mexico down to Panama.

What to expect in the cup: This anaerobic natural process coffee from El Carmen Estate in El Salvador does not disappoint! Bright, vibrant and packed with flavour. Just as it's name suggests the Orange Bourbon varietal opens the cup with a bold, juicy orange note, evolving into flowing tropical fruit flavours that carry through the cup and finish with a sugary, syrup like sweetness. Add a splash of cold milk and the profile transforms beautifully the lively tropical acidity softens into a creamy apricot character, rounded out with gentle hints of smooth caramel.
