El Salvador Apaneca Finca Miravalle Bourbon:
Importer's Description:
Central flavors are raw sugars and soft roasted nut tones. Light roasts have tea-like vibrance, while Full City shows caramelizing bittersweetness and a subtle raisin accent. City to Full City. Good for espresso.
The dry fragrance has a sweet, cereal grain smell, like wheat flakes with raisins. Aromatically speaking, this all bourbon coffee has a sweet nutty smells like toffee-coated nut, almond paste and the like. I'm struck by the balance in both my light and more developed Full City roasts. At City, the underlying flavors come off like brown/raw sugars and soft roasted nut tones. 'Chocolate' isn't really an adjective that comes to mind in really light roasts, however, 'bright' is. Light roasts have tea-like vibrance, nearly citric, but not puckering like African coffee. It's mouth refreshing and plays off the sweet flavors that anchor Miravalle's cup. At Full City, the cup offers caramelizing bittersweetness and cocoa flavors, and a subtle raisin accent note brings the cup assessment full circle from where we started in the dry fragrance. This isn't a particularly big-bodied coffee, but Full City roasts did work well for a classic-toned espresso shot.
