El Salvador Bosque Lya Whole Bean Coffee by Rounton Coffee
Roasters 250g - El Salvador Whole Bean Coffee
Brand: Rounton Coffee Roasters
Founded in 1932, Bosque Lya translates to 'Lya’s
forest', named after Gustavo Vides Valdes' daughter. Making it one
of our most treasured coffees. This is a 96-hectare farm - 64 of
which are under coffee, the balance being left as a natural
rainforest. However, in many parts of the farm, it is difficult to
recognise what is pure forest and what isn’t, since so many shade
trees are used. There is an abundance of wildlife including birds
such as hummingbirds, orioles and hawks and many migratory species.
Mammals include wild cats, armadillos, deer and possum. There are
endless beautiful flowers including colourful rare orchids and
epiphytes that grow on the branches of the trees. The views from
this farm are jaw-dropping with the mountains and volcanoes of west
El Salvador and Guatemala beyond, dominating the picture. The
towering El Chingo Volcano takes centre stage in this dramatic
scene. This is the archetypal Salvadorian coffee - nutty, creamy
and moreish. Not to mention, it's amazingly versatile! Give it a go
as a knockout espresso, or as a comforting cup of filter coffee.
It's no wonder it won a Great Taste Award in 2020, with the judges
praising its 'mellow, nutty sweetness'. Ripe coffee cherries are
picked, and sorted to remove any defects. They then pass through a
depulper, where the flesh of the cherry is removed, leaving behind
a sticky mucilage layer. Next, the beans are fermented, and the
mucilage layer breaks down, leaving a clean coffee bean behind. The
beans are then carefully dried, resulting in a clean-tasting coffee
with natural sweetness and complexity. Medium Intensity: With a
thick, creamy body and notes of toasted nuts, what's not to love?
Bosque Lya is an easy-drinking coffee, which stands up well to
milk, but can hold its own black. Each bag is packed in
planet-friendly carbon-neutral bags and is 100%
recyclable!
