Jammy profile with ripe raspberry sweetness, soft winey acidity, and layered notes of toffee and nutmeg.
This microlot comes from Finca San Francisco, a small two-hectare farm in Chalatenango owned by José Omar Lemus. Planted with Pacas, a classic Salvadoran Bourbon mutation, the coffee is harvested ripe and carefully dried as a natural on raised African beds. José treats each variety as a separate project, focusing on precision rather than volume. In the cup, this approach delivers a jammy profile with ripe raspberry sweetness, soft winey acidity, and layered notes of toffee and nutmeg, expressing both the terroir and the producer’s quality-driven philosophy.
