El Salvador Finca Miravalles Bourbon

Dark Roast is a good starting point for this coffee where bittering chocolate is matched up with well-developed sweetness and inky body. The dry fragrance has sweet honey-wheat, browned sugars, and nutty hints, and the wet aroma brings out a profile of chocolate-coated nut. There's a convergence of chocolate roast tones and brown sugars that will hold up to quite a dark roast level, and intensifies with deeper development. Our lighter-middle roasts are very well-rounded, with layers of cocoa, and toasted sugars, and a creamy hazelnut note marked the aftertaste. The cup flavors are well-balanced, and top notes, while limited, bring up some subtle spice/herbal hints in the finish. As espresso, expect layers of cocoa and creamy nut flavors that make a lasting impression. An excellent option for milk drinks whether brewed coffee with cream, a latte, cappuccino and more.

The 120 manzana Finca Miravalles is a family affair. It's owned by husband and wife Luis Duarte and Tete Chacón, and much of the management is handled by their son, Luis Jr, and Chico, the on-site manager of 15 years. The farm is located in Apaneca, Ahuachapan, not too far from the Santa Ana volcano. It used to be two separate farms, Miravalles belonging to Tete's family, Santa Maria to Luis's. They were both raised on these neighboring farms, family ownership going back some 150 years. Sometime after marrying, they put in an offer on Miravalles, which was all but abandoned at the time, and joined with Santa Maria under the Miravalles name. They have been renovating the farm ever since, keeping much of the original Bourbon and Pacas cultivars, and planting several other varieties, including H1 and F1 hybrids, Catimor, Pacamara, Caturra, and Gesha. They've done an amazing job segregating the cultivars in separate plots, and go to great lenghts to harvest and process separately too. This year we bought several of the varietal separations, this being an all Bourbon lot. Miravalles is perched on the verdant slopes of the Apaneca-Ilamatepec mountain region, and spans an altitude range of about 1250 to 1550 meters above sea level. Check out our video tour of the Miravalles farm, and in-depth look at their wet process method in action at their mill.
