Quick Guide

What is this coffee?

We’ve been working with Anny Ruth and her family for as long as we have records here at Sagebrush, which is why with a heavy heart we say that this is the last lot of coffee we’ll be offering from her, as she is moving onto her next chapter of life and away from coffee production. This coffee is a great, clean cup with lots of traditional earthy tones. There is a consistent mouthfeel with minimal acidity that gets smoother as it cools. A great coffee for espresso and other bolder brew methods, but I love it on pour over too.

Processing Method

Honey Process- Honey processing creates coffee's sweetest profiles by drying beans with sticky mucilage intact. From white honey's delicate notes to black honey's wine-like complexity, this method balances washed clarity with natural fruitiness for uniquely sweet cups.

Country

El Salvador- We've been buying from El Salvador for years after meeting a producer who prized coffee excellence in a way that moved the country forward. As we explore this nation's coffee heritage, it becomes clear why El Salvador remains a hidden gem.

Altitude

1500-1700masl - Altitude is typically correlative to the potential complexity of a coffee bean. The higher in altitude the coffee is grown, the denser the bean will be, resulting in a more dynamic cupping experience.

Classification

Brown Label- If not for those who come before us in the supply chain, we would not be the company we are today. In light of that, we see it critical to help producers in whatever way we can to develop in their craft as well.

Bourbon

The best things in life often come in pairs. Batman and Robin. Peanut butter and jelly. Together, they accomplish more than they would alone. 

When it comes to the two most important varieties in specialty coffee, Bourbon and Typica are the clear winners. 

If you’re a coffee lover, you’ve likely heard of varieties like Bourbon and wondered, what is it? How is it different from other varieties? And does it affect the taste of my morning coffee?

El Salvador

Although the smallest of the Latin American countries, El Salvador (el sal•vuh•dor) produces incredible, high-grade coffee beans. For over a century, coffee has fueled economic growth and become a cornerstone of Salvadoran culture. But the path to get here hasn't always been easy.
