El Salvador Apaneca-Ilamatepec

this is a honey processed coffee from the apaneca region of el salvador, roasted by bristol coffee company. honey processing means the cherry skin is removed but some of the sticky fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying, which adds sweetness and body to the cup. expect stone fruit up front, backed by honey and honeycomb sweetness, with milk chocolate and darker chocolate notes rounding out the finish. it suits filter methods like pour over or aeropress, where the fruit and chocolate layers can come through cleanly without being masked by milk.
