El Salvador Finca Miravalle Bourbon 5/21/2022

The Finca Miravalle is owned by Luis Duarte, and is located in Apaneca, Ahuachapan, not too far from the Santa Ana volcano. Miravalle is about 1500m, and is only planted in Pacamara Boubon. This variety is less disease resistant than recent cultivars, but Luis claims it tastes better.

Sweet Maria’s roast recommendation: At Full City, the cup offers caramelized sweetness and cocoa flavors, like chocolate-covered caramel candies. This lot makes a creamy espresso too, layers of bitter-to-sweet chocolate flavors, like dark truffle, nibs, and baking cocoa, are accented by a hint of candied anise seed in a very long aftertaste.
