What Friedhats says about this coffee
Another super lot from Rodolfo Ruffatti’s family farm, Finca El Salvador. The farm has been in operation for generations, and this lot in particular is special for the farm and the family - a collection of Bourbon trees planted by Ruffatti’s grandfather over 60 years ago that’s still producing beautiful cherries, something that Ruffatti believes signifies “if you take care of something it will last.”
The trees sit at 1650masl, and once the cherries are picked they undergo a 48 hour natural process, resulting in complex, fermenty flavours with a sparkling mouthfeel. Think funky chocolate bonbons with a touch of tropical acidity.
Ruffatti has a theory that the older trees produce more complex flavours, and maybe this is just a romantic idea, but there’s some method to the madness and we’re inclined to agree.

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.
How it sits among coffee from El Salvador
Friedhats describe this coffee as chocolate. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from El Salvador; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
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.
