It wasn't orignally on our radar to bring in this offering from Don Gerardo, but WOW we are so glad we did. This coffee is absolutely stunning, complex, balanced and very vivid. Whereas origins that traditionally get more attention, El Salvadorian growing environments, as exemplified by this coffee, showcase just how speical of a coffee growing country it is. There is some true magic happening in this rich, volcanic-nutrient soil!
