We have been buying this superior gourmet coffee from the Monte Sion Estate in Northern El Salvador for many years now. It is no coincidence that we achieved a Great Taste Award with it as in 2009 it was voted in the top ten certified coffees in the world, and has been awarded with a Cup of Excellence certificate in recognition of its wonderfully complex sweetness and acidity.
To experience this coffee at its absolute best, we recommend using one heaped dessertspoon per cup. You can experiment with this by playing with the dosage of water and coffee to suit your taste for each different blend or origin and brewing method. You can brew with filter, chemex and V60. For cafetiere add fresh water just off the boil and allow the flavour to develop for 3-4 minutes.
Great Taste Judges' commented: "Great length of flavour, well put together with gentle raisin and wine-y flavours."
