el salvador coffee
by buena vida coffee roasters · potsdam, germany
you'll taste honey before honeycomb. this is finca el cerro – el salvador, a honey el salvador from buena vida coffee roasters.
this coffee tastes of honey and honeycomb, with a natural sweetness that comes directly from its honey processing method, where fruit mucilage is retained on the bean during drying.
it is grown in the apaneca region of el salvador and processed using the honey method, meaning the outer fruit skin is removed but the sticky mucilage layer is left on the bean as it dries.
a pour-over or french press works well here, using water around 90-93°c and a medium grind to draw out the honey sweetness without over-extracting.
and that's where buena vida comes in. you'll find them on am bassin, where the coffee hits different than what you'd expect from a german roastery. the regulars here know something the rest of potsdam is still figuring out. this isn't about chasing trends or making noise on social media. it's about beans that actually matter, roasted by people who understand what they're doing. the kind of place where your cortado comes out right every time because they've been doing this long enough to get the fundamentals locked down. no gimmicks, no unnecessary complications. just solid coffee that makes sense when you taste it. walk down am bassin on a tuesday morning and you'll see what i mean.
