Why does this coffee taste the way it does?

Don Roberto divides the harvest season into early and mid-harvest, as well as a late harvest, from which this coffee comes. This is sweeter and richer and is optimally suited to be dried in the cherry, as this intensifies the fruity notes of ripe berries, cherries, and that liqueur-like base note. This is accompanied by a cocoa note that also lingers in the aftertaste. We roast the coffee at 80% batch capacity for 13 minutes with a development time of 13%. This is how we develop the coffee's sweetness while retaining the fruity elements.

Tell me more about Don Roberto

Don Roberto, Roberto Ulloa, runs the Finca Divina la Providencia on the Santa Ana Volcano in El Salvador. His coffees are among the most stable we know in El Salvador, as he works with great meticulousness. He mainly plants Bourbon, an original variety that is now primarily native to El Salvador. Longer dry phases in the summer allow him to dry the coffees as naturals. In this case, Rodolfo Ruffatti Battle from Productor.Coffee purchases cherries from Don Roberto and dries them at his farm.
