El Salvador Finca Malacara - 250g

Finca Malacara is a farm in Volcan Santa Ana, which lies in the Apaneca-llamatepec mountains of El Salvador. This coffee is very elegant and balanced, with a luxurious syrupy mouthfeel and sweet, big buttery body. Some cedar and wood spice aromas can be detected on the nose, and deeper stone fruit notes develop in the cup. The coffee has a sweet, smooth, toffee finish.

The bourbon varietal is usually characterised by sweet acidity and complex flavours, and this particular Malacara bean is honey processed – which means the beans are first pulped from the cherries, then allowed to dry with the mucilage still attached, which results in an even sweeter cup, and a honey colouring on the unroasted beans.

Coffee Reviews

stunning coffee, lots of really nice floral notes, the delicate flavours are really brought out using a v60 or similar pour over method as opposed to the more traditional cafetiere...
