El Salvador Finca Malacara “A” Filter Roast

Malacara is like a season in itself at James Gourmet. It’s a coffee we look forward to every year and is more than just another delivery of coffee.  We have experienced the highs and lows of the harvests, the shortfalls, and years like this one. If you know my writing style, you know I am careful never to put a producer or anyone else down. I try to avoid negatives and am quite good at honesty, to the point of self-deprecation! This crop is more expensive than any year before it. This crop is not the best, but it is a very drinkable and enjoyable light filter.

With every coffee that we receive, we know just how hard it is for producers to consistently deliver good harvests year after year, and the trials with working the land and the ever-present challenges of the environment.
