Hailing from the lush mountains of El Salvador, this coffee delivers a complex yet inviting experience for both new explorers and seasoned coffee adventurers alike. In just two minutes, you’ll learn all about what makes this small-batch coffee so special and why it deserves a spot in your collection.

Discover the Flavor Adventure

With El Salvador’s Bourbon Dream, every sip is an expression of El Salvador’s volcanic soil and high-altitude farming. The moment you grind a City+ roast of San Miguel, you’re greeted by the rich, tantalizing aromas of dark sugar, spices, and sweet breads. Imagine the scent of walnut, molasses, and a hint of milk chocolate. When the hot water hits, it’s like opening an oven full of oatmeal cookies, with subtle notes of toasted marshmallow and barley tea drifting through.

The real excitement comes as you take that first sip. A well-pronounced brown sugar sweetness awakens your palate, followed by the crisp tang of green apple and a smooth walnut note that lingers at the edges of your tongue. As the coffee cools, the flavors mellow into a velvety blend of sweetened condensed milk and hazelnut chocolate—an adventure in every drop. At a Full City roast, the cup evolves into deeper cocoa bittersweetness, rounded out with the sweet-nutty accent of Jordan almonds and a whisper of cinnamon stick.

From Farm to Cup: The Story Behind San Miguel’s Specialty Origin

Grown in the revered region of Santa Ana, this single-origin coffee comes from a small 5-bag lot at San Miguel Farm, nestled in the Apaneca Illamatepec mountain range. This farm, brought back to life by the Duarte family, is a symbol of both tradition and renewal. With altitudes ranging from 1480 to 1620 meters, the farm is perfectly situated to grow Bourbon variety beans, known for their balance of sweetness and complexity.

Each bean is meticulously wet-processed and raised bed sun-dried, ensuring that the full range of flavors are preserved from harvest to cup. The farm’s dedication to quality is reflected in the Farm Gate certification, highlighting a direct connection between farmer and roaster, and ultimately, you—the coffee lover.

Why Choose San Miguel Bourbon?

This single-origin coffee embodies everything we love about small-batch, specialty roasting. Its flavor depth and range are a testament to the care and precision taken at every step of production, from the cultivation of old Bourbon trees to the final roasting here in Colorado.

Whether you enjoy the bright acidity of a City roast or the rich cocoa notes of a Full City roast, San Miguel offers a spectrum of flavors for coffee enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike. It’s a coffee that evolves with every sip, revealing layers of sweetness, fruit, and nuttiness.

• Light roasts showcase the lively, apple-like acidity and brown sugar notes.
• Darker roasts emphasize the bittersweet cocoa, almonds, and a gentle hint of cinnamon

By choosing San Miguel, you’re not just enjoying a great cup of coffee—you’re experiencing the craftsmanship of a family farm dedicated to sustainable, high-quality coffee production. It’s a celebration of the Bourbon variety, the hard work of the Duarte family, and the natural beauty of El Salvador.
