MEDIUM ROAST
10oz. whole bean coffee
Honey Processed
Cerro Las Ranas (the Hill of Frogs) coffee is named after the farm’s lagoon that is populated by thousands of frogs located in Apaneca within the department of Ahuachapan, El Salvador. This coffee is produced by JASAL, a family owned operation where Jose Antonio Salaverria and his sons take great pride in their meticulous attention to detail, from year-round farm management to quality control in the cupping lab, and everything in between. In the pulped natural process (also called a honey process), Jose pulps perfectly ripened cherries and then dries the coffee beans, still covered in mucilage, on clay patios while constantly turning the beans to ensure even drying. This process provides a more consistent flavor than a full natural while still bringing some of the great attributes of a natural processed to the coffee.
Flavor
A hint of floral/citric acidity with just a touch of sweet and delicate red ripe fruit. The finish is a bit on the nutty/chocolaty side. A lovely slightly-exotic daily drinker! My current favorite. It also makes great cold brew.
