El Salvador Santa Adelaida "single origin espresso" 16oz.

For July, our single origin espresso will be a lighter, more summery demitasse. El Salvador Santa Adelaida creates an uncomplicated and enjoyable espresso experience. The coffee is lighter-bodied than what is typical for our selection of espresso coffees. Normally roasted to mute acidity, we have purposely held on to the true lemon acidity present in this coffee. On hot Northwest summer days, we cannot think of a better espresso experience than Santa Adelaida. Sweet chocolate and nuts with a refreshing citric acidity.

Aromatics of cinnamon and honey lead to milk chocolate and dense dried fruits flavors.

The Santa Adelaida Cooperative has its roots in the agrarian reform that restructured land ownership in El Salvador in the 1980’s. Formerly a single estate, the land is now home to 250 families who live and work together growing delicious coffee. A true community has developed here: the cooperative maintains three schools, a medical facility and housing for all. Their Bourbon varietal coffee is grown under dense shade trees, prolonging the ripening of the coffee cherries which instills fantastic sweetness and acidity in the beans. Santa Adelaida is a lush, diverse and beautiful place that exemplifies what a Rainforest Alliance Certified coffee farm can be.
