About this bean

El Salvador Ahuachapan is a medium-dark roast from Me, sourced from El Salvador. It features the Bourbon Rojo, Pacas, Cuscatleco variety, processed using the washed method. Washed processing removes the cherry pulp before drying, which tends to highlight the bean's varietal character and produce a cleaner cup with brighter acidity. Medium-dark roasts lean further into caramelised sweetness and body, with origin character starting to give way to roast character. The roaster lists tasting notes of Chocolate, Nutty, Floral and Clean. Tasting notes are the roaster's reference, not a guarantee; your cup will be shaped by your grinder, water and recipe. Home baristas on Puck Yeah have logged 3 shots of this bean, with an average community rating of 5.3 out of 10 across 3 ratings.
