El Salvador Los Naranjos from the roastery The Naughty Dog is a special edition that delights lovers of unique flavor profiles and experimental processing methods. From the first sniff, you will be captivated by the notes of jasmine and rose, which transform in the cup into an elegant combination of earl grey tea, lilac, and sweet wild strawberries. Thanks to its high altitude of 1450–1700 meters above sea level, this coffee retains a clear acidity and vibrant character that develop beautifully when brewed as filter coffee.
The anaerobic natural method used to process this coffee is part of innovative processing techniques and gives the resulting flavor an unmistakable character. After harvest, the cherries are sealed in containers without exposure to oxygen, where they ferment for several days. During this process, deeper and richer flavor compounds develop inside the fruit that would otherwise remain hidden in normal processing. The coffee is then dried on African beds, where it gains a pronounced sweetness and full body. The result is a coffee that surprises with its intensity, structure, and unconventional expression.
The Los Naranjos farm is proof of how dedicated farmers can push the boundaries of coffee selection. This exceptional Geisha, originating from the Canton Buenos Aires region, underwent an anaerobic dry processing method that highlighted its intense aroma and unique flavor complexity. Thanks to meticulous attention to every detail – from the selection of optimal cherries to the precise drying – this coffee not only tastes great but also tells the story of the farmers and their innovations.
