WE TASTE: Bright & Juicy, Green Apples, White Grape & Roasted Hazelnuts Las Nubes was purchased by Isidro Batlle in the 1920's and remains in the family. He liked to purchase high-altitude farms like Las Nubes and Kilimanjaro. The coffee of El Salvador is known for its old-growth heirloom Bourbon variety, and was first cultivated in the early 1800's. El Salvador, compared to its counterparts in the region, has preserved a substantial amount of Bourbon varieties due to its Civil War in the 1980's. During the years El Salvador had a Civil War, other countries were introducing Catimors and Catimor hybrids which have high yields, are resistant to diseases (like rust or roya), but are sub-par in terms of cup quality. Farms now have old-stock Bourbon trees (as old as 50 - 80 years old in extreme cases) which are susceptible to rust and could be problematic in terms of cup quality due to its deficient nutrition if not managed intensively. ABOUT BEANSMITH COFFEE - Excellent roasted coffee can only come from excellent green coffee. Beansmith samples new crops of "green" or "raw" coffee each harvest to pick the cream of the crop to present as our seasonal offerings. We take a light-handed approach to roasting, allowing each origin to display the traits that make it unique. We strive to find coffees of true excellence that range from wild and exotic, to classically rich and clean. Beansmith roasts, packages, and ships your coffee the same day it was born!
