Gentle acidityAcidityThe bright, lively, fruit-like sensation in coffee — praise, not a flaw. Citric sparkle, malic apple-crispness, tartaric wine notes; light roasts preserve more of it., fruity sweetness, & a soft mouthfeelBodyThe weight and texture of coffee in the mouth, from tea-like and delicate to syrupy and heavy. Driven by process, roast, variety, and brew method.. La Gloria is farmed by Luis Rodriguez who has been involved in Salvadoran specialty coffee for decades, & brought that knowledge and expertise to his own farm in 2009. It's a really small farm at just under 3 hectares, so we feel very lucky to have some of their coffee to share with you.
