El Salvador El Borbollon - Espresso Roast

We have been buying coffees from El Borbollon for almost 10 years, they have been a staple of our blends as they are consistent, high quality, and delicious examples of a sweet and creamy El Salvadorean coffee.

Located in the highlands of the Santa Ana Volcano, El Borbollon Mill produces high-
quality coffee through a meticulous milling process.

Owned and operated by the Alvarez family, who have a long history of growing coffee in El Salvador, the mill draws its coffees from the families two main farms.

All the coffees are shade-grown and hand-picked, they are then pulped
and fermented 16-20 hours before being dried on traditional clay patios.

The farms are pre-dominantly planted with Red Bourbons however slowly the family is experimenting with Orange and Yellow Bourbons as well.
