this wednesday at the coos bay farmers market (9AM to 2PM) located
on central av. in coos bay were featuring a delightful central american
coffee - el salvador finca san miguel bourbon. this small lot of bourbon
variety comes to us from san miguel farm, in el salvador's santa ana
region. the farm sits right on the border with ahuachapán and son
sonate, an area referred to as "tres limites", in the apaneca illamatepec
mountain range. san miguel is luis duarte's original family farm, that
through the years was all but abandoned. last year he and his son, luis
jr, began the process of bringing the long process of renovation,
stumping many of the old trees, and replanting large areas of the farm
in bourbon (red and orange), maracaturra, gesha, and small amounts
of rume sudan and kenia. san miguel's roast versatility and balanced
flavors stood out. grinding a city+ roast released a scent of caramel,
with accents of molasses bread, and milk chocolate. the cup sweetness
was caramel-toned and creamy, impressive for the origin. notes of
dulce de leche, kraft caramels come through, along with a vanilla bean
hint on the nose. the coffee cooled to notes of sweetened condensed
milk, and a hazelnut chocolate flavor marked the aftertaste. roasted to
a city+ (medium light) level.
