El Salvador, Portillo, Natural Process, 200g
The Portillo variety can only be found in El Salvador because it was developed there by a farmer named Portillo, who is a relative of Rodolfo Ruffatti.
Portillo dedicated his coffee farming career to developing and improving varieties, and this variety is named after him. He did not document his work, but he passed the seeds on to his family and friends, including Rodolfo.
Rodolfo continues to develop the variety by selecting the best seeds from each harvest and improving them.
This coffee goes through a classic natural process — right after harvesting, the cherries are transported and laid on raised African beds to dry in the sun for several weeks.
It's full-bodied, with delicate acidity and a deep, pleasant sweetness. Suitable for all brewing methods.
