COFFEE FLAVOUR NOTES

ORIGIN STORY

This wonderful coffee won Gold at the Blas na hÉireann Food Awards 2022.

This coffee is a micro-lot from one of our favourite farms, Las Mercedes. It is grown by Fernando & Juan Aguilar from Las Mercedes & Santa Maria across 160 hectares of shade-rich nature on the north-eastern slope of the San Salvador Volcano. The Aguilar family have been producing coffees here for the past 6 generations and lead El Salvador in producing environmental centred coffee. Las Mercedes and sister estate Santa Maria are surrounded by 100 hectares of nature reserve designated as a part of the Meso-American biological corridor, including a remarkable 'mini rainforest'. Given the importance of the perseveration of the forest, the Aguilar family, in conjunction with a local NGO, have two park rangers that look after the protected natural forest year-round.

That’s a yes from me

Yep , overall a surprisingly nice cup. I used two methods for brewing this coffee at home. One being the James Hoffmann v60, and the second being the James Hoffmann French Press. For the v60 I went with approx 60g of coffee per litre of water, making a 250ml cup an easy 15g of beans and with the French press I went with 70-75g of beans per litre, making my 800ml press 56-60g per brew. One thing I would say is I could only find a beat before date on the coffee bag. I’d prefer a roasted on date instead as that is a far preferable method of select freshness.
