    The bootleg and Peru will be medium dark but the El Salvador will be a bit lighter but It will still perform really well as an espresso. By all means leave a note and I'll try my best to accommodate. I've got a couple of great darker espresso coffees just roasted so should be able to send something good for lucky dip

    t's super clean, very zesty and zingy, with hints of berry and citris. It also has a lovely body of caramel lingers, and a delicious and long aftertaste. Magic as a filter and a body to die for as an espresso.

The farm is named because it is "hidden" from the road by forest and trees, which makes it appear to blend right into the side of the mountain. It is a young farm: the first trees were planted there in 2006. La Escondida is planned around identifying the plots with individually different micro environments resulting from factors such as soil quality, sun exposure, and temperature range. This is one of the upsides of starting to plant a new farm.
    Some of the downsides of starting a brand new farm can be that it may take a while for the quality of the cup profile to build up, it might take time to have the right facilities for processing and picking, and it might take time to train the staff for picking and processing. Not to mention that it might take a while to achieve the yield to go with it all. But this farm, for me, has hit the whole group of requirements running. As a result of their experience in the area, the Mierisch family have built a new mill with a huge investment, and they use some of the people already in place in the neighbouring 'San Jose' to blend together an Escondida team comprising experienced and new members.
