Taste notes
Strawberry
Cocoa
Cinnamon
Body / Mouthfeel Medium-Heavy

Body is the weight and texture of the coffee in your mouth.

Light-Medium
Delicate to rounded, with a lighter-weight, smooth mouthfeel.
Medium-Heavy
Rounded and syrupy, with substantial weight and presence.

Body is different from roast level. A light roast can still have a substantial body.

Acidity Low

Acidity is more of a sensation than a flavor: it is the pop on your taste buds when you bite into a fresh piece of fruit like an apple.

Low
Soft, gentle, and mellow.
Low-Moderate
Gentle and balanced, with subtle, restrained brightness.
Moderate-Bright
Lively and expressive, with clear, juicy brightness.

Good acidity adds freshness and character; it does not necessarily mean sourness.

From the source

The story behind this coffee

This lot from my dear friend Jaime Ortiz, a fifth-generation coffee producer is back in the shop for another year!  Jaime has been one of our family since 2019! I had the privilege of spending time with him on his farm and he nothing short of amazing, and his farm as well.

Jaime’s farm is Rainforest Alliance certified. They produce red, orange and yellow bourbon, pacamara and Kenya SL28. However, most of the coffees they produce are red bourbon. They have a mixture of washed, honey and naturals.

The farm sits at 1300 masl near the Santa Ana volcano. This region in particular provides excellent conditions for growing excellent coffee.

We love Jaime and his fabulous coffees!  If you have been a customer for some time, you have likely had his coffees.  If not, you are in for a treat!  We think you're going to love it!

Finca El Guayabo Natural is a great quality coffee roasted with care. I prepare it using a classic pour over method as Tony describes on the Troubadour website. This coffee has great subtlety, the taste and aroma of strawberry wonderful to me. This is but one example of superb Troubadour Roasters coffee. Over 15 years I have tried other roaster's coffees, but I could not find any as subtle and delicious as the ones Tony provides.

Thank you so much for your kind words and continued support over the years. It means a great deal to hear that, after 15 years of trying different coffees, Troubadour continues to stand out 🫶 Your support truly means the world to me.
And I’m especially glad you’re enjoying the subtle strawberry character in the El Guayabo Natural.
