What Five Elephant says about this coffee
The Red Bourbon Washed from Finca Majahual represents the farm’s classic expression of El Salvador’s most iconic varietal. Grown between 1,500 and 1,800 meters in the cool microclimate of the Los Naranjos Valley, this coffee is carefully handpicked, fully washed, and dried with meticulous attention to detail to highlight its crisp structure and balanced sweetness. In the cup: red apple, caramel, and plum.
The washed process preserves the clarity and brightness of the coffee, enhancing the natural sweetness while allowing the terroir to shine through. After selective picking, the cherries are depulped and fermented before being washed and placed on raised beds for slow, even drying. This controlled process ensures the coffee develops clean, refined flavors that reflect the farm's dedication to quality.
Finca Majahual has built a reputation for innovation, transparency, and community impact under the leadership of Patrick Murray. The farm’s ongoing social programs—supporting education, healthcare, and local development—are deeply intertwined with its coffee production.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from El Salvador, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

A further 3 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
