Region

Calzontes Arriba

When Bobby Ulloa Rusconi got married a few years ago his father, Roberto Ulloa (of La Divina Providencia) gifted him 4.5 hectares of land – La Bendición. La Bendición (The Blessing) was already planted with SL28, locally known as the Kenya varietal and Bourbon. Over the next few years, with guidance from his father, Bobby will replace the Bourbon with SL28 using seed stock he has selected from his trees. This process is scheduled to take two years. The SL28 cultivar was developed in Kenya (hence its El Salvadoran nomenclature) and while widely grown there has now started to be planted throughout Central America. It can do well wherever Bourbon typically does well but does need the cooler temperatures that come with higher altitude. Bobby is planning to manage the trees with parras, a local pruning and training technique, to maximize the use of the space and the productivity of the plants. This is just our second year with La Bendición on our counter and we’re delighted with its fresh citrus and sweet spice notes.

Grind Guide

Cafetière

A coarse grind also suitable for cold brew. We use the word cafetière, but this can also be referred to as a French press, plunger or press pot.

Aeropress slow

Suitable for making a long, filter style coffee, often brewed for a few minutes. Similar to our paper filter setting.

Filter

This is suitable for our paper filters and ceramic or plastic cones, along with other brands such as V60, Clever dripper and Melitta.

Stovetop

This is an espresso style grind suitable for use in hob top espresso pots such as a Bialetti or Grunwerg. Sometimes referred to as a moka pot.

Aeropress fast

This is also an espresso style grind ideal for brewing a short, concentrated, espresso style coffee in an Aeropress.

Domestic espresso

A fine grind for using in your home espresso machine. Grind requirements will vary depending on brand and model, but this setting aims to work for the majority of home setups.

Whole beans

For use in your home grinder!

If you use a different method such as a syphon or Chemex, require a custom grind or need some advice, please get in touch and we will be happy to help.
