Blind Assessment
High-toned, richly chocolaty. Dark chocolate, magnolia, hazelnut, pink peppercorn, lemongrass in aroma and cup. Juicy-bright acidity; full, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The chocolaty, sweetly nutty finish is redolent of Nutella.
Notes
Produced by Rene Contreras on the family farm in Monte Verde and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). Speedwell Coffee, based in Plymouth, Massachusetts, is a wholesale and retail specialty roaster particularly dedicated to offering attractive coffee subscription plans.

Bottom Line
A lovely El Salvador, balanced and bright, that leads with notes of dark chocolate, complex nuts, and sweet, citrusy herbs.
