Product Overview
Full Cupping Notes

We've really enjoyed our light-to-medium roasts of Rosalio Villatoro's coffee, where it develops balanced profiles of aromatic sweetness and darker chocolate tones, along with well-integrated top notes, and fruited acidity. Its versatility is apparent when tasting the two roasts we prepared, our City roast hitting 414F (14 degrees post 1st C), and our darkest Full City roast dropped at roughly 430F (30 degrees post 1st Crack). The fragrance and aroma of the City roast gave off smells of honey and caramel glaze, and the wet aroma brought out a butterscotch note, with a delicate hint of dried flowers. The hot cup has saturated sweetness, flavors of honey and creamy caramel are accented by traces of cocoa and spice,. A fruited acidic impression comes off like red apple, structuring the flavor profile without overpowering the cup. Full City roasts show a hint of dark fruit, like dried date. However, the base flavors are a low-toned mix of chocolate brownie, bittersweet chips, and chocolate-coated almond.

Farm Notes

Origin & Farm Notes

This coffee is from Rosalio Villatoro, one part of the Villatoro family whose coffees we've bought and blended as "Familia Villatoro" in the past, as well as offered on its own when there is enough. We thought this particular lot deserved being showcased outside of a blend, and is thankfully a sizable bag count! The Villatoro family lives in the Peña Blanca part of La Libertad, and their farms are situated around 1700 meters above sea level. They have mostly Bourbon and Caturra planted on their farms, with a sprinkling of Typica trees scattered throughout. This coffee comes to us through a joint-effort of a local micro-mill owner who is able to process and separate the micro-lots we approve, and a sophisticated dry mill where they handle the finishing touches for exportation of the green beans. It's also part of our "Proyecto Xinabajul" small holder project in the region, which you can read more about HERE.
