Why does coffee taste the way it does?

Don Roberto divides the harvest season into an early and middle harvest, as well as a late harvest, from which this coffee comes. This is sweeter and more lush and is ideal for being dried in the cherry, as this intensifies the fruity notes of ripe berries, cherries and this liqueur-like base tone. This is accompanied by a cocoa note that also extends into the aftertaste. We roast the coffee at 80% batch capacity for 13 minutes and a development time of 13%. This is how we develop the sweetness of the coffee, but keep the fruity elements.

Tell me more about Don Roberto

Don Roberto, Roberto Ulloa, runs the Finca Divina la Providencia at the Santa Ana volcano in El Salvador. His coffees are some of the most stable coffees we know in El Salvador because he works with a lot of meticulousness. He mostly plants Bourbon, an original variety that is now primarily native to El Salvador. Longer dry periods in summer allow him to dry the coffees naturally. In this case, Rodolfo Ruffatti Battle of Productor.Coffee buys cherries from Don Roberto and dries them on his farm.
