Bagging El Salvador

Our newest coffee, from Finca Matalapa in El Salvador, just arrived. We tasted the first sample batch today, and it has me excited already.

We put half of our green stock into air tight valve bags, which ensures that it will taste every bit as good in six months as it does right now. Green Coffee has a shelf life too, and the only way to extend it is by getting it out of burlap and into something air tight. Unfortunately, this gets ignored by far too many roasters.

If we know we won't move through an entire shipment of coffee within a few months, we bag it up into valves, and the results have been great so far. No more worrying about coffees tasting tired and lacking acidity after spending time in the warehouse.

It feels great to know that we'll have this excellent coffee available well into winter, a time when good Central American coffees are hard to find.

Cupping notes coming soon...
