El Salvador Finca La Montanita Bourbon - The owner of Montanita is Antonio Rene Aguilar Lemus, and this is a fairly small farm of 17.5 Hecatares in total. The farm was handed down through the Aguilar family. The Aguilars run their own wet-mill so all steps of the coffee cultivation and processing are under the control of the farm. While the farm is not organic certified, it could be; they do not use herbicides and practices manual weed control. They use organic fertilizers like chicken manure, coffee pulp and they count on nature for insect control. La Montanita is located in the Alotepec Mountain Range and has excellent altitude for coffee (1460 meters, 4790 feet) which accounts for the slowly-maturing, dense coffee seeds and better acidity in the cup. La Montanita placed several times in the Cup of Excellence, including #2 place in 2006 and #3 in 2010.

The fragrance from the dry grounds is wonderful; vanilla and caramel, blackberry (mora) jam. In the wet aroma there is a syrupy sweetness, black currant, grape jelly. The cup is delightful; it has a dark sweetness, the balanced acidity of ripe fruit, syrupy body and rounded mouthfeel. Plum and grape notes express the fruit qualities of the cup, with a slight winey aspect. The cup has a lush, mouth-filling quality. It’s bright, but not with an aggressive acidity. I find it remarkable that the coffee maintains it’s character through the roast range. City+ roast (as we often find) has the best expression of this coffee, in the fruited brighter notes as well as tenor-level roast taste. Cupping credit: Tom Owen.
