EL SALVADOR Cerro Las Ranas Honey: A hint of brightness and soft fruit balancing well with a malty undertone.

DESCRIPTION: One of the most sustainable farms in the world! A wonderful direct-relationship coffee. Nicaraguan Selva Negra coffee is cultivated in the most ecologically sustainable and socially responsible way possible. A good cup from light to dark, medium to full-bodied, with a touch of acidity. The lighter side of a medium roast was our favorite roast point. A hint of brightness and soft fruit balancing well with a malty undertone. Take it a little darker for a good daily drinker, turns it a bit smoother and richer.  Darker roasts produce a hefty malt-like tone with complimenting smoky tones, still on the sweeter side, not quite as smooth but has the heft many darker roast fans will love.

Selva Negra Estate Coffee is grown at a high altitude in a shaded environment. This allows the bean to have a slow development cycle, which instills an intense and fulfilling flavor to each bean. The coffee is not only 100% Arabica, but more importantly, it is mostly Bourbon and Typica strains (which produce higher quality beans than other varieties of coffee trees). The region of Matagalpa, Nicaragua, is mountainous, with excellent volcanic soil producing exceptional beans. Finally, the coffee is prepared using an environmentally friendly washing process, which gives the coffee still one more unique quality-enhancing aspect.
