Beans Las Mercedes Estate, El Salvador Grumpy Mule 227g
How special?
How about selected high altitude lots as a world exclusive for the Mule by the farmer Fernando Aguilar & his father Juan (yes, really). How about with the Mule’s approval at the farm? How about making a special commitment to the historical Bourbon varietal that made El Salvador coffees famous around the world, despite being lower yielding and harder to work with – just because it taste better?

Yep, pretty special coffee, pretty special people.

Caramel, refined milk chocolate, tropical and red apple like fruit flavours. Medium body, and great overall balance. Excellent single origin filter & espresso and adds sweetness and fruit to espresso blends.

For six generations, the Aguilar family has produced coffee on the shade-rich land on the north-eastern slope of the San Salvador Volcano. The estates cover nearly 160 hectares at altitudes ranging from 1,250 to 1,700 meters (4,100 to 5,577 feet), the top of the farm being unusually high for El Salvador and lending to great coffee growing potential.
