Some new coffee from El Salvador arrived at the shop yesterday so today I'm tasting for product development. I wasn't planning to sell this as a light roast, but I taste things there anyway just in case I find something outstanding. Here I got by far the most interesting fragrance/aroma of the series, but that just didn't come through in the flavor. Straight up sour bomb on the first sip, moderates a bit as it cools but that's not what I bought the coffee for.
Moving past the light roasts, it's pretty good across the whole rest of the range, though at the very darkest roasts there's no compelling reason to choose the last couple samples over something a bit lighter. I'll go with both a medium and a dark roast where the acidity is massively tamped down, but the sweetness is still there and the body is great.
