Have you ever heard coffee described as “chewy” before? Once you taste Big Red Bourbon and experience its viscous, velvety mouthfeel, you’ll see why we’ve chosen to label this coffee’s body with that description.
In 1936, Don Rafael Meza-Ayau Sr., great grandfather of the current owner, acquired properties including Finca Majahual in the Los Naranjos Valley located in Sonsonate, El Salvador. Here, moderate weather and an ideal altitude combine to provide some of the most fertile land in the country. Eventually, Finca Majahual was handed down to Don Rafael ́s grandson, Roberto H. Murray Meza. Most recently, Roberto’s children, Christina and Patrick Murray-Alvarez, have gotten involved in the management of the farm. The Murray-Alvarez Family has maintained a strong commitment to improve the workers’ quality of life by providing medical assistance, education, and leisure spaces. Rainforest Alliance has also recognized and certified Finca Majahual for their effort to give back to the community while protecting the environment. In the most recent Rainforest Certification (2017), Finca Majahual received a perfect score.
All of the coffee grown at Finca Majahual is Strictly High Grown (grown between 1500-1800 meters above sea level), Single Origin (all of the coffee comes from one farm), and is mostly the Bourbon variety. The farm produces an average of 2,700 bags of green coffee per year in an area of 90 hectares and with approximately 2,500mm of annual rainfall. Around 80% of their total production qualifies as export grade, meaning fine coffees scoring very nicely in cupping profiles (85+). After having participated in the Cup of Excellence Contest in 2014, Finca Majahual was selected by the international jury as one of the top 30 best quality coffees in El Salvador. We’re excited to have this coffee in house to share with you.
Big Red Bourbon is shade grown, which contributes to maintaining the coffee forest biodiversity. It is then processed as an anaerobic natural, meaning that the coffee was fermented without oxygen. In a mug of Big Red Bourbon, you’ll taste floral notes of hibiscus, the sweetness of honey, and juiciness of cherry.
