el alisal is a washed single-origin coffee from the loja region of ecuador, roasted by three marks coffee. the washed process keeps the cup clean and precise, letting the coffee's natural character come through clearly. expect a floral lift from hibiscus alongside a soft, nutty almond quality that gives it a gentle, approachable body. because the flavors are delicate rather than bold, it rewards brewing methods that offer good control over extraction, such as pour over or aeropress, where you can keep water temperature moderate and avoid over-extraction that might overwhelm the lighter floral notes.
