The Story
This farm-direct El Salvador Bourbon is a true seed-to-cup masterpiece, grown on the Martinez family's 170-acre estate in the volcanic highlands of Apaneca. The Bourbon variety has been a staple of Salvadoran coffee culture for over a century, and the team at Crickle Creek continues to nurture it across dedicated plots like their Fincona 2 lot. While many farms have transitioned to rust-resistant hybrids, this selection represents their ongoing dedication to the classic Bourbon variety and the well-rounded, elegant cup profile it produces.
This specific micro-lot from the Fincona 2 plot undergoes a traditional washed process to highlight the coffee's natural clarity and vibrancy. The result is a silky-bodied cup defined by deep sweetness and a balanced character. On the palate, expect rich notes of dark chocolate and brown sugar sweetness, finished with a subtle red grape acidity. It is a standout expression of volcanic terroir and four generations of farming expertise.
