El Salvador - Gloria 250g

🇸🇻 El Salvador - Gloria — 250g

Gloria is a Salvadoran Pacamara given a honey process, and those two elements make its character. Honey processing sits between washed and natural: the pulp is removed while the sugary mucilage stays on the bean through drying, pairing the cleanliness of a washed with the sweetness of a natural. Plum opens the experience with a dark, ripe sweetness closer to dried fruit than fresh, rose then steps forward with a striking aromatic presence that lifts the cup and keeps it from turning heavy, and a candy-like sweetness closes with a sugared character and the faintly syrupy texture this process is known for. Plum and rose together are uncommon — the first leans to depth, the second to lightness — and their balance is what makes this cup worth tasting slowly. The finish is long and sweet, staying longer than you expect. Pacamara is purely Salvadoran, bred from Pacas and Maragogipe, and its unusually large bean slows the roast and deepens the body. This coffee suits brewing with V60 or espresso, where its details come through clearly and give a balanced experience in either method. Worth tasting slowly beside our drip coffee beans, and found within our value boxes.
