ORIGIN & VARIETALS
A Salvadoran Treasure
The Anatolian Black Bean is a single-origin marvel, sourced exclusively from the high-altitude regions of El Salvador. This coffee comes from SHG (Strictly High Grown) areas, ensuring that each bean reaches its full potential in the rich volcanic soils. The blend is composed of Pacas and Bourbon varietals, each known for their distinct flavour profiles:
Pacas: A natural mutation of the Bourbon varietal, Pacas is known for its balanced and sweet profile, adding a smoothness to the blend.
Bourbon: Revered for its complexity and depth, the Bourbon varietal contributes to the rich and nuanced flavours of the coffee.
This combination of Pacas and Bourbon results in a coffee that is as multifaceted as the Salvadoran landscapes from which it hails.
TASTING NOTES
A Symphony of Flavors
Each cup of Anatolian Black is a rich tapestry of flavours:
Chocolate and Nuts: The dominant notes of chocolate, almond, and hazelnut create a comforting and familiar base, reminiscent of traditional Anatolian delights.
Sweet Apple Acidity: A subtle hint of sweet apple acidity punctuates the blend, adding a fresh and vibrant layer to the flavour profile.
Balanced and Delightful: The overall experience is well-rounded, offering a cup that is both satisfying and complex, inviting you to explore its depths with each sip.
PROCESSING METHOD
Purity in Every Bean
The Anatolian Black undergoes a fully washed process, a method that is meticulous and deliberate. In this process, the coffee cherries are depulped, and the beans are washed to remove the mucilage. This method highlights the coffee's natural attributes:
Clarity and Purity: The washed process enhances the clarity of flavours, allowing the natural characteristics of the bean to shine through.
Crisp Acidity: This method also brings out a bright, clean acidity in the coffee, adding a lively dimension to the cup.
This careful processing results in a bean that is clean, pure, and exceptionally flavorful, embodying the essence of Salvadoran coffee craftsmanship.
