Story
These Bourbon trees get pampered throughout the year from native trees providing shade from the bright El Salvadorian sun, and nutrient rich soil, thanks to the Ilamatepec Volcano. After the cherries ripen, the Alvarez Family, who own and operate La Reforma, prepare this natural under strict quality standards that have been developed over 100 years growing and exporting coffee. This coffee provides a heavier mouthfeel and adds structure to the profile.
We’ve had the privilege of buying coffee from Armando and Mauricio Gomez in Guatemala since we started Naysayer Coffee. Chq’Ul is a small 2 hectare farm that has been in the Gomez family for 3 generations. This coffee is full of chocolate sweetness and deep buttery red fruit notes.
Freshly picked cherries are delivered to the Gigesa washing station in Ethiopia and immediately depulped. The pulped coffee will rest in fermentation tanks for 36 to 48 hours. After being fully washed, the coffee is dried on raised beds for 10-12 days. This coffee gives us huge fruity floral notes and caramel sweetness.
