Context

Sourced from the Concepcion de Ataco region of Ahuachapán, El Salvador, this Snowstorm lot is produced by Mauricio (Moe) Salaverria. As a staple of the Montana Coffee Traders lineup, this selection highlights the distinct terroir of the region through a profile defined by agave, pomegranate, and cashew.

When evaluating such specific flavor profiles, it is helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better categorize the interplay between the bright, acidic fruit notes and the underlying nutty, savory characteristics. While coffees from El Salvador are often celebrated for their balanced sweetness and clean finish, the specific nuances of this lot reflect the careful cultivation practices employed by Salaverria. By focusing on these distinct sensory markers, drinkers can better appreciate the unique qualities that define this particular harvest from the Ahuachapán highlands.
