el borbollon is a bourbon varietal from the santa ana region of el salvador, processed as a honey, which means some fruit mucilage is left on the seed during drying. that process tends to carry sweetness into the cup, and this one lands on honey, honeycomb, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate. it's a straightforward, sweet coffee without sharp acidity or unusual fermentation character. roasted by ritual coffee roasters, it suits filter brewing well, where the cleaner extraction keeps the chocolate and honey tones distinct rather than muddled.
