El Salvador El Ciprés

About This Coffee

This coffee is a Red Bourbon variety from Finca El Majahual in the Los Naranjos Valley, Sonsonate, El Salvador. Grown at an altitude of 1500 to 1800 meters, it is processed using the natural method, with cherries dried slowly on raised beds and in greenhouses for 25 to 28 days. The cup profile features notes of rum raisin chocolate, honeydew melon, and grapefruit, offering a deep fruit character balanced by a clear acidity in the finish.

Five Elephant Coffee Roastery

Kris and Sophie Schackman founded Five Elephant in December 2010, opening their original cafe at Reichenberger Strasse 101 in Berlin Kreuzberg while establishing a separate roasting facility on Glogauer Strasse. Head roaster Wojtek Białczak, who placed fifth at the 2019 World Barista Championship in Boston representing Germany, oversees quality on a Diedrich roaster, ensuring every batch meets exacting standards. The roastery offers espresso, filter, and omni roast profiles, with their Meridian Collection showcasing diverse terroirs and varietals from Ethiopia, Guatemala, Kenya, and the Mogiana region of São Paulo, Brazil. Every coffee is cupped after roasting for quality control and flavor profiling, a discipline that reflects their commitment to consistency across four Berlin cafe locations. Direct trade relationships built through origin travel underpin their sourcing, and wholesale distribution extends their reach to partners around the world.
