Produced by Carlos Pola in the Juayua region of El Salvador, this Bonbon lot from Bar Nine showcases the distinct character of the Bourbon varietal. The coffee undergoes a dehydrated honey process, a technique that sits between traditional washed and natural methods, often influencing the final cup's sweetness and body. While processing methods vary significantly in their impact on the bean, this specific approach contributes to the roaster’s noted profile of fudge, cinnamon, and citrus.

When evaluating such profiles, it is helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better identify the nuances between spice-driven notes and bright acidity. Honey-processed coffees are frequently sought after for their ability to balance the clarity of a washed coffee with the syrupy mouthfeel often associated with natural drying. This 750mL offering provides a focused look at how Pola’s specific cultivation in El Salvador translates through Bar Nine’s roasting style.
