Cultivation, processing

The Central American Republic of Salvador has come a long way and is deservedly one of the largest coffee producers in the world. From the 1880s, gourmet coffee became the main export crop passing through indigo. Here we can find up to 7 different growing areas, where the plantations are located on the mountain slopes, made of ash and volcanic lava. Highly permeable soils rich in minerals represent fertile ground for vegetation and thus coffee trees. SHG - Strictly High Grown refers to coffee crops that have been grown exclusively at high altitude. The abbreviation EP -European Preparation means that it has been prepared with special care: defective fruits and other impurities are checked and removed mainly by hand. After harvesting, the coffee cherries are sorted, then naturally fermented, washed and dried on traditional clay terraces or raised beds. After reaching the desired moisture level, the fruits are stored in wooden silos or bags to rest until they are peeled. After shelling, the grain is cleaned and sorted again. This is followed by packaging and export.

How to prepare it

Thanks to its flavor profile, it is ideal for the most delicate mixtures. As a single-origin coffee, it tastes just as good if it is prepared in an espresso coffee machine, in a moka pot, filter coffee machine, aeropress or as a drip. But if you plan to prepare it in a French press, we recommend shortening the main preparation time a bit so that the resulting taste is more delicious. It also tastes fantastic with cream and sugar.
