About coffee from El Salvador
El Salvador is known for Bourbon coffee and for two varieties that originated there: Pacas and Pacamara. Salvadoran coffees are often sweet and round, with chocolate, caramel and stone fruit.
What the process means
In a natural (dry) process, the whole coffee cherry dries in the sun with the fruit still on the bean. That usually gives a heavier body and riper, fruitier flavors like berry and tropical fruit.
