Context

Produced by Diego Baraona in El Salvador, Los Pirineos Bourbon represents a classic expression of one of the world’s most iconic coffee cultivars. The Bourbon variety is widely celebrated in the specialty industry for its balanced sweetness and complex acidity, often serving as a benchmark for quality in Central American coffee production. As a staple of the region, this lot showcases the meticulous cultivation standards maintained at the Los Pirineos estate.

Roasted by The Barn, this coffee highlights the distinct characteristics inherent to the Bourbon plant. When evaluating such coffees, enthusiasts often look for nuanced profiles that shift as the cup cools, a process that can be better understood by referencing the flavor wheel. While Bourbon coffees are generally recognized for their approachable, sugary profiles and rounded mouthfeel, this specific offering provides a focused look at the terroir of El Salvador through the lens of a dedicated producer.
