this is a medium roast single-origin coffee from el salvador, grown from the pacamara varietal, a large-bean cross between pacas and maragogipe that el salvador is known for producing well. the roasterie roasts it to a medium level, which keeps the fruit character intact without pushing into heavier roast territory. expect stone fruit and peach flavors, leaning toward a softer, sweet cup rather than a bright or sharp one. it suits pour-over or drip brewing, where the medium roast and fruit-forward profile come through cleanly. grind medium, use water around 200°f, and avoid over-extraction to keep the peach note from turning flat.
