El Durazno

from $10.00

El Durazno is a coffee that is extremely versatile, taking cream easily—without losing out on its complexity—yet isn’t overpowering when enjoyed black. Sweet chocolate and toffee notes set the base for this coffee, with a mellow red apple acidity that keeps things fresh. In our eyes, El Durazno is the perfect coffee for a multi-cup weekend morning, or brewed as a big pot for friends and family to enjoy.

Average cost per 8oz cup: $1.21

MORE ABOUT THIS COFFEE

This coffee is monitored until it reaches peak ripeness at around 18° Brix and ready to be manually harvested by the Castellanos family! Upon harvest, this coffee was submerged and fermented in barrels for 48 hours, before being laid out to dry in raised beds under partial shade. This process takes 15 days until the coffee reaches moisture levels of 12% and is subsequently prepared for export.

Domestic shipping is free for orders of $50 or more. Otherwise, it is a $7.50 flat rate anywhere in the US. We ship everything via UPS Ground.

NOTES ON GRINDING: If you choose “French Press” grind, expect it to be finer than usual, so you’re guaranteed good extraction. Some ultra fine coffee particles will make it through the screen and create a flavorful, albeit slightly opaque cup. In other words, we choose flavor over aesthetics. If you want to keep your cup looking cleaner, choose a pour over grind.

If you don’t see your preferred grind in the options then simply let us know in the notes section at checkout and we’d be happy to grind it for your favorite brewing method.
