About this coffee
This El Borbollón has a crisp acidity with a big mouthfeel and a deep rich cup. There is milk chocolate notes with a slight stone fruit vibe, which holds beautifully. Very classy cup of coffee & versatile. As an espresso in milk it is complex but not overwhelming, with a very caramel smooth character shining through.
The Alvarez family has been growing coffee in El Salvador for over 100 years and across four generations. Their award-winning farms are located on the lush green hills of Santa Ana, in the west of the country, whose rich volcanic soils and mild climate provide ideal conditions for growing coffee. There are a number of farms under which together make up El Borbollón - La Reforma, Santa Maria, El Cerro, Las Lomas, El Angel, San Juan & Santa Theresa. The coffee is hand-picked and collected in traditional hand woven baskets from December until March by pickers who have been specially trained to select only the best and fully-mature coffee cherries.
