El Borbollon

The Alvarez family has been growing coffee in El Salvador for over 100 years across four generations. Their farms are located on the lush green hills of Santa Ana, known for its rich volcanic soils and mild climate ideal for coffee cultivation. The beans used in El Borbollón come from two small neighboring farms, La Reforma and Santa Maria, which are hand-picked from December until March by trained pickers.

Je ne classerai pas en torréfaction légère, bon ça reste subjectif. Le café tire surtout des notes torréfiées, légèrement sucré et sans acidité

Je l’ai adoré en filtre et en Aeropress! Fruité mais pas trop funky, une très belle porte d’entrée pour ce type de café. Je l’ai un peu moins apprécié en espresso, mais je ne sais pas si c’est ma méthode d’extraction qui était fautive.
