/About Los Pirineos Estate/

Usulatan is located on top of the volcano Tepeca, where Los Pirineos estate is located, owned by Gilberto Baraona. This volcanic region is surrounded by the cities of Berlin, Santiago de Maria and Joy. In 1890 coffee was grown here. The original coffee seeds and tree species were imported from Antigua Guatemala according to the number of local families. Depending on the distribution and coffee variety within the estate, they are grown independently on a small to medium scale. Currently, the following coffee varieties are cultivated on the estate: Bourbon Elite, Pacas and Pacamara. It is also involved in a Procafe project, which has a number of other species. The area is divided into native coffee trees, native varieties and hybrids from around the world. Los Pirineos Estate pioneered its own micro-washing community in El Salvador. Suppliers continue to make improvements in handling and drying. For the coffee we bought this year, they also made some attempts at processing. Fresh fruits are soaked directly after removing the skin and colloid, and the final result is delightful.

/Process/

Only ripe fruit is picked by trained harvesters. Then, in the afternoon, the fruit is taken to a micro-washing house on the Los Pirineos estate, where the farmer selects by hand to remove the unripe and overripe parts. The peeling machine used here is the brand new Jotagallo, which removes 70% of the gum while peeling the skin. The shelled beans are then soaked overnight in clean water, followed by washing.

How to make Salvadoran coffee beans?

As for brewing methods, hand brewing and siphon brewing are the best. When grinding beans, you can smell the aroma of flowers fruity, sweet obvious.

In our experience, Salvadoran coffee, the main differences considered before brewing are roasting degree and altitude, roasting date.

In principle, the deeper the baking temperature can be lower, the shallower the baking temperature can be higher.

For example, light baked beans, long time, coarse grinding, beans themselves sour, and you like bitter do not like acid, then you can use a higher temperature to try. Of course, those aromatic lipids do emit more aroma at higher temperatures, but sometimes they are accompanied by destruction of certain flavors.

Of course, the brewing temperature is not too fixed a positioning, can be determined according to your personal taste, or the degree of baking beans.

The layers are richer, and the flavor of the coffee before, during and after the coffee can be clarified.
