Tasting notes: chocolate ganache and blueberry.

The beans for this bar come from Freddy Salazar’s estate near the coast of northern Ecuador. Eric, our origin owner for Costa Esmeraldas, has spent time at the farm and was impressed by the close attention Freddy and his team pay to every step of cultivation and production, including pruning trees, managing disease in the field, efficient harvesting practices, and careful loading of the fermentation boxes to ensure a clean facility. Freddy has built one of the most sophisticated processes we’ve seen, and it shows in the flavor of his beans.

Eric finds the 2020 harvest a bit sweeter than previous crops, so he applies a medium roast to achieve a balanced flavor profile.
