Hailing from the lush volcanic soils of the Santa Ana region in El Salvador, this coffee from Finca El Gobiado is a stunning showcase of craftsmanship and tradition. The farm, situated at an elevation of 1300-1350 MASL, is home to 38 000 coffee trees of Bourbon and Pacas varieties. Known for their rich, sweet profiles, these varieties are a testament to El Salvador’s legacy in specialty coffee.
What makes this coffee truly stand out is its Black Honey processing method. After careful handpicking at peak ripeness, the coffee cherries undergo a unique fermentation process, leaving the mucilage intact during drying. This meticulous method results in an extended drying time of 25-28 days on raised beds, allowing the beans to absorb deep, fruity sweetness and develop an irresistibly smooth texture.
When you take a sip, expect a rich flavor profile of cacao, almond, and toffee, balanced with a gentle acidity that ties everything together beautifully. It’s the kind of coffee that feels like a warm hug with every cup.
Whether you’re a seasoned specialty coffee lover or just starting to explore the world beyond mass-market blends, Finca El Gobiado – Black Honey is the perfect brew to showcase the beauty of El Salvador’s coffee heritage.
