Recently tried a small sample of PT's Coffee from Topeka, Kansas through the Craft Coffee service.La Avila is from Santiago de Maria, Usulután, El Salvador and is a Bourbon varietal that is farmed at 1400 meters by Lucia Abrego de Ortiz. This coffee utilizes the washed process to remove the seeds from the fruit.
Usulután is the 5th largest city in El Salvador and sits in a rich agricultural valley with a great deal of humidity.
The first slurp reminded me of chocolate with fresh grape acidity. This brew definitely lingered with chocolate covered raisin taste and lightened as it lowered in temperature. The acidity danced and as it cooled became more astringent with cocoa powder taste with slight peach finish.
