500g - Unroasted coffee beans suitable for home roasting.
Finca San Carlos is one of many farms owned by the Bogonovo family, which has a long, 500-year history of coffee production in El Salvador.
Tucked away in the Balsamo mountain range, the area benefits from volcanic soils and a tropical climate, ideal for producing coffees with medium acidity and a full body.
I’ve been roasting this at home and it’s so forgiving — even my second batch came out with a clean, even crack. The 500g bag gave me four solid roasts, and the beans felt dense and consistent throughout.
Roasted a batch to City+ and the beans expanded beautifully in my drum roaster, filling the kitchen with a sweet, nutty aroma. The family's 500-year growing history really shows in how evenly these unroasted beans take heat, even for a beginner like me. Already ordered another 500g bag.
The 500g bag lasted me through three roasting sessions, and every batch came out with a sweet, clean cup that made the whole kitchen smell incredible. I’ve only been roasting for a few months, but these unroasted beans were forgiving enough for my uneven heat and still delivered that classic Salvado
