Mauricio Salaverria

This specialty coffee from Mauricio Salaverria comes from Finca Himalaya in El Salvador, where ripe cherries are hand-picked and naturally dried. BeanBrothers roasts to a balanced medium roast with versions for filter and espresso. Expect an aroma of caramel and red fruit, flavors of cherry, redcurrant and smooth chocolate, with a creamy body and sparkling acidity. Varieties such as Bourbon, Pacas and Pacamara add complexity. The sustainable chain includes shade trees, fair prices and compostable packaging. The coffee performs beautifully in V60, French press and espresso, and is available seasonally as a microlot.
