Tim Wendelboe El Salvador Los Pirineos Espresso

[about Los Pirineos]

The name Los Pirineos comes from the alpine Pyrinee on the French-Spanish border. The farm is located in the Tecepa volcano area in the southeast of El Salvador, reminiscent of the mountain Pyrinee.

This bourbon variety comes from the highest farm of Tecapa Volcano and has a refreshing acidity. Gilberto Baraona (Gilberto Baraona) has been the owner of the farm since 1890. He has grown many different varieties on his farm, and his current main force is Pacamara, Typica and heirloom Bourbon (also known as Bourbon Elite) imported from Guatemala in 1890. The Bourbon Elite variety has been used to develop a newer bourbon variety in El Salvador (called Teknik). Compared with the newer Tekisik on this farm, Bourbon Elite performs quite well in sweetness and has a stronger fruit flavor.

[about coffee bean roasting]

When roasting, Tim Wendelboe wants to retain the natural flavor of coffee as much as possible so that it can taste the unique personality of each variety, so Tim Wendelboe uses a high-quality bean roaster to roast coffee beans and uses a very light roasting technique to prevent overweight roasting from covering the original coffee tone, while eliminating the incomplete sour taste.

Tim Wendelboe's coffee is suitable for all brewing methods except Italian concentration. Very shallow roasting can provide coffee with clarity, brightness and sweetness, and if brewing Italian concentration, due to high concentration extraction, very shallow roasting will cause the acidity of coffee to be too amplified, so if you want to brew semantic concentration, it is recommended to buy a style with the title marked "Espresso".

[about coffee bag packaging]

All Tim Wendelboe coffees are packed in vacuum sealed recyclable plastic bags filled with nitrogen before sealing. The bags have an one-way exhaust valve to exhaust the coffee while keeping the good taste in the sealed bag. When the coffee is just roasted, it will produce a lot of carbon dioxide gas in the beans, which will make the coffee smoky and sour, so it is very important to give the freshly roasted coffee a rest before use. We recommend that you keep the beans in a non-direct sunlight room for at least three to five days after the baking date before using them.

[about coffee brewing]

It is recommended that you use a measuring tool when brewing our coffee and refer to the weight value to measure the ratio of coffee to water in order to get consistent results. The basic recommended powder-to-water ratio is about 1:14-1:16.

Flavor description: chocolate, nuts, dried fruit

(Tim's flavor notes)

"many years ago, I bought Gilberto bourbon in the Joyo Cup, which is one of my favorite Salvadoran coffee. It is always very sweet and low in acidity, and the chocolate flavor is perfect for making cappuccinos or lattes. This ancient bourbon variety has a very subtle dried fruit flavor, but the main flavor is chocolate and nuts. For those who don't like the tone or bright acidity of fruit, this variety will be a good choice. "
