Context
Produced by Jorge Raul Rivera in the Chalatenango Mountains, the El Salvador Santa Rosa represents a classic expression of high-quality regional cultivation. This lot is processed using the washed method, a technique that typically emphasizes a coffee’s inherent acidity and clean finish by removing the fruit pulp before drying. You can learn more about how these processing methods influence the final cup profile in our guide.
Roasted by Onyx Coffee Lab, this selection is characterized by distinct notes of grape and rose. These descriptors highlight the delicate balance often found in Salvadoran coffees, which frequently bridge the gap between bright fruitiness and floral elegance. To better understand how these specific sensory attributes are categorized within the industry, we recommend consulting our flavor wheel. By focusing on the clarity provided by the washed process, this coffee offers a refined experience that showcases the meticulous work of the producer.
