Malacara Rojo

About This Coffee

This coffee is a single-origin offering from the Malacara estate in the Apaneca region of El Salvador. Grown by the Dumont-Alvarez family at an altitude of 1,650 meters, this 100% Red Bourbon variety is processed using the washed method. The flavor profile features notes of red apple, honeydew, and caramel, resulting in a sweet, full-bodied cup with gentle acidity.
