Buying Tips
SHG: Strictly High Grown — in El Salvador, coffee grown above roughly 1,200 meters, with denser beans and more concentrated sweetness
Region: Tecapa-Chinameca is one of El Salvador's six official coffee regions, in the volcanic east, dominated by small family farms
Varieties: Mainly Bourbon and Pacas, the two varieties behind El Salvador's sweet, balanced style
Brewing Notes
Batch brewer: Medium grind, ratio 1:16
Espresso: Medium to medium-dark roasts bring chocolate and caramel that suit milk drinks
