This is a favored staple here at Backporch. We work hard to get the right coffees in it each year, to make both a great cup of coffee or shot of espresso. The blend consists of coffee from Costa Rica and El Salvador. Both of these coffees were chosen for how they stood out in our visits to the producer's farms this past year. We choose the costa rica for it’s deep dark chocolate and winey, berry notes and blend in a nice citrusy, woodsy El Salvadorian coffee to make what we feel is a complete blend. This coffee is purchased through direct trade means, ensuring that the farmer gets fair wage for their hard work.cupping notes: syrupy and sweet, with notes of dark chocolate, cherries, cane sugar and caramel.
