A typically Salvadoran coffee, it's nicely complex, with berry, strawberry, winy, melon, and lemonade notes. If you like Central American coffee but have never tried a Salvadoran coffee, this is a great place to start.
Coffee industry titan La Minita have been working with the Silva family since 2014 but have been familiar with their coffee farming since the El Salvador Cup of Excellence Auction in 2005. Rafael Silva oversees all of the coffee production at their farm properties, and runs their milling operation Beneficio San Pedro in the western El Salvador town of Apaneca.
They use Penagos machines for de-pulping and demicillaging, and have extensive covered drying patios and specially designed drying greenhouses that they use. Lots are divided daily by farm, variety and process, and kept separate throughout the season. The attention to detail that Rafael and Carmen exhibit is nothing short of amazing, and we feel their coffee beans reflect this care every year.

Cupping Notes: Blueberry, chocolate, strawberry, floral, clean, consistent, balanced, bright lemony sweetness.

I've ordered many varieties of bean from the Corral and the service is excellent and the quality of the product is always great. I have gravitated to beans from El Salvador and Nicaragua and find them to be a reliable bean with a predictable profile for reaching 1C and 2C. I tend to roast all of my beans just into 2C and am happy with the results.

I do not have a nuanced palate that can detect whiffs of flavors, or bouquets of tastes... I do have a love of coffee, and particularly coffee that is rich, smooth and with a deep lingering after taste that compliments the experience of drinking it. This is one of those beans - same as a couple of Kenyas (Lenana and Karatina) and, most recently, Brazilian Peaberry that we will always keep on hand. I use a Hottop Roaster and a custom profile, ejecting at 408°F (partially into second crack). The resulting coffee is smooth, lushly sumptuous and deeply satisfying. My neighbors stand on our porch with empty mugs like panhandlers... :) Enjoy this bean!!

delicious for espresso!

This one was interesting to roast. At about 200* F a bunch of chaf started to come off the beans. It wasn't a first crack so I kept going with no issues. Hit first crack and went a little longer. Lots of chaf from this, but it is delicious though pour over or espresso.

This was an interesting coffee. More chaf than usual, but roasted up well, and tasted good.

This bean is consistently good it gets rave reviews from family and friends don't think twice about ordering this bean. Roasted just into 2C and setup for 2 days makes for an excellent pour over. I can't stop drinking it and I think I've ordered bag after bag of this and will continue to do so.

Roasted through the completion of first crack. Excellent. Like an earthy/fruity version of an Ethiopian

I love this coffee it is. It is sweet, fruity and complex—just the way I like em. I own an online coffee roasting business and I am certainly considering this coffee as my next stocked item. An excellent “mood booster.”
