About Holiday Bean - Lagunita of El Salvador
The Holiday Bean is back! PT’s Coffee Roasting Co. is featuring this special coffee for their 2018 pick. Grown by Sergio and Isabel Ticas, La Lagunita is situated near a beautiful mountain lagoon on their Los Planes estate. Plentiful irrigation and cool, humid temperatures are perfect for the Bourbon variety that grows there.
This lot’s exceptional sweetness is enhanced by the honey process in which the coffee dries with the mucilage still on the bean. PT’s brings it to a light-medium roast to bring this sweetness forward, creating a crowd-pleasing, perfect accompaniment to any holiday festivity.
