El Zonte
Santa Ana is a department of El Salvador in the northwest of the country. It is one of the most famous coffee-growing regions of the country, in the mountainous region around the Santa Ana volcano.
This coffee is sourced from the Sauerbrey-Martínez family at Finca Miramar in Apaneca-Ilamatepec, Santa Ana. Most Salvadoran specialty coffee is grown near volcanoes, where the ash and sulphur impart complex flavours. Such is the case here, but with the added benefits of an ocean breeze off the Pacific (‘mar’ means ocean and ‘mira’ means look) and shade from macadamia and peach trees to slow maturation.
The resulting cup reminds us of strawberry, honeydew and graham cracker.

Troisième sac Th3rdwave d'octobre (je sais, je suis en retard), c'est l'El Zonte d'Escape (Montréal) que j'infuse aujourd'hui. Il s'agit d'un assemblage de grain Bourbon hybrido, de San Francisco et de Pacas (tous nouveaux pour moi). Ils sont d'origine du El Salvator et ont subit un processus de lavage naturel. Je me suis fait un V60 à 25mg de grain avec 390ml d'eau.
Moulu, le grain possède des odeurs surtout de bois sec, mais aussi de biscuit au miel et d'une fine impression de poudre de cacao.
En bouche, on introduit le café avec des notes amer et acides de chocolat noir, suivit de légères impressions vanillées et mielleuse. Le biscuit seconde avec ses saveurs de céréale sucrée. Il y a quelques notes de fruit rouge, mais plus en finale alors que l'acidité nous rappelle celle de la fraise.
Intéressant, l'El Zonte reste dans l'ensemble assez doux aux saveurs simples. Escape offre encore une fois un grain à la torréfaction bien équilibrée, aux notes somme toute, assez foncées sans compromettre ses saveurs distinctes et fraîches
