    Red Bourbon is known for its balanced and fruity flavour profile, and this lot from Los Azacuanes is a great example: We have the sparkling acidity of raspberries, with the sweetness of milk chocolate and a smooth macadamia nuts finish. You will love it!

    About the coffee


    Carlos Mendez has been growing coffee on the Los Azacuanes estate in El Salvador for years. This lot is a red bourbon, a naturally occurring Typica mutation. The coffee was processed naturally, which is also known as the dry process. The entire coffee cherry is placed in the sun and turned regularly so that it dries evenly. The drying process takes between 25 to 30 days and takes place on African beds. African beds are elevated wooden structures that give the cherries good airflow and prevent mould. By drying the beans in the fruit like this, the process enables highly aromatic coffees with particularly sweet and fruity flavours.

    About the farm

    farm is located near the town of Ataco at about 1,350 meters above sea level.

    Cup of Excellence

    About the farm

    Auf der Finca Los Azacuanes in El Salvador baut Carlos Mendez seit Jahren Kaffee an. Das Lot, das wir für euch rösten, ist eine rote Bourbon, eine natürlich vorkommende Typica-Mutation. Der Kaffee wurde natural prozessiert, das auch als Trockenverfahren bekannt ist. Dabei wird die gesamte Kaffeekirsche in die Sonne gelegt und regelmäßig gewendet, damit sie gleichmäßig trocknet. Der Trocknungsprozess beträgt zwischen 25 bis 30 Tage und findet auf afrikanischen Betten statt. Afrikanische Betten sind erhöhte Holzbauten, die es erlauben, dass die Kirsche gute Luftzufuhr hat und nicht schimmelt. Dieses Verfahren hat das Potenzial durch das Trocknen der Bohne in der Frucht sehr aromatische Kaffees zu erzeugen mit besonders süßen und fruchtigen Geschmacksnoten.

    Bloody Good Coffee

    - SINCE 2002

    Bloody Good Filter

    Coffee is a fruit which is naturally acidic and contains many sugars. We roast our filter coffees to bring out this acidity and develop the natural sweetness.

    In developing a profile for a filter roast, our roasting team takes a light-handed approach, roasting much more gently than in an espresso roast. Here, the aim is to respect and highlight the natural flavours of the coffee itself, and to let its terroir shine through.
