same as last time (no coffee was selected for this entry, so it's assumed to be the same as the previous brew)A beautifully balanced El Salvador with a delicate red grape acidity and jammy blackberry sweetness, developing into rich caramelised butterscotch and almond notes before finishing with a deep dark chocolate cocoa character. Medium roasted to preserve the coffee’s delicate fruitiness and sweetness, Finca Serbia makes a terrific espresso, but is equally rewarding across other brewing methods. Finca Serbia is owned by Fernando Lima and his family and is located in El Congo, in El Salvador’s Santa Ana region, overlooking the beautiful Coatepeque Lake. The farm was established in the 1930s and has remained in the family ever since. Coffee is grown beneath natural shade from tall cedar, oak and balsam trees, with rich volcanic soils and an elevation of around 1,000 metres creating excellent conditions for growing coffee. The farm is planted with Bourbon, Caturra, Pacas, Catimor and Sarchimor varieties. The Lima family are award winning sustainable coffee producers and also farm several other estates in the area, continuing a family tradition of producing exceptional El Salvador coffees.
