The Roaster describes this coffee as having a warm fragrance with sweet green pepper and nuts; intensified in the wet aroma with nuances of ripe cherries. It is sweet and herbaceous in the cup, with hints of thyme, hibiscus and ripe juicy pear. The finish lingers with a smoky flavor reminiscent of barrel-aged bourbon. Paradise Coffee Roasters El Salvador Finca Guachipilin coffee is fully washed and sun dried medium roasted giving it light body. Packaged in 12oz bags.

MannyGate7 Very informative thank you!
Philip Coats Interesting to see that coffee comes from such a wide variety of places. Curious to know just how much the taste of each varies (with a similar roast temperature) due to soil composition and other localized variables.
Dean Dahlstedt Absolutely amazing that coffee is the 4th most popular drink in the world, yet it appears to be produced in such small quantities in many regions. This truly is a special drink. I now know why Hawaiian coffee so expensive. Only 100 bags a year! How many times have I roasted a Panama Esmeralda Gesha or a Kenya AA without realizing that those are the very best of only 90 and 850 bags per year respectively. These fact really make me realize how truly lucky we are to be able to enjoy the very best of this wonderful drink. Great article, thanks.
paul hees Great stuff, a lot of interesting information presented in a condensed but appealing format. As a big fan of both, it never occurred to me that Ethiopia produces 8 times as much as Kenya. Wondering if China is still growing- thought Yunnan was on course to rival Vietnam? Thanks!
