Los Pirineos Bourbon Elite

About This Coffee

This specialty coffee is produced by Diego Baraona at the Los Pirineos farm in the Chinameca region of El Salvador. Grown at an altitude of 1400 meters, this Bourbon Elite variety is processed using an anaerobic natural method, involving a 72-hour sealed fermentation followed by a 72-hour aerobic fermentation. The resulting cup features deep red fruit characteristics, with distinct tasting notes of black cherry, red grape, and sweet blood orange. The coffee is sourced from trees over 100 years old, reflecting the farm's long-standing heritage and commitment to quality.
