common questions
What does EL Cerquín del Portillo taste like?
it leads with lemon and grapefruit, carries citrus zest through the finish, and has a brown sugar sweetness that balances the acidity. the washed process keeps the cup clean and well-defined rather than fruity or heavy.
How is EL Cerquín del Portillo grown and processed?
it is a bourbon varietal grown in the marcala region across honduras and el salvador, and it is processed using the washed method, meaning the coffee cherry is removed before drying to produce a cleaner, brighter cup.
How should I brew EL Cerquín del Portillo?
filter methods such as pour-over or drip suit this coffee well, as they highlight its clean, citrus-forward character. aim for water around 9396°c to keep the brightness of the lemon and grapefruit notes without introducing harshness.
