This Sweetheart offering from Olympia Coffee showcases the Ariz family's meticulous work at their Fenix mill in El Salvador. Bourbon variety cherries from Finca El Aguila undergo natural processing—pulped and dried on raised beds to concentrate sugars and develop layered fruit character. The result is a cup that balances intense sweetness with clean, vibrant acidity.
Tasting Notes
Expect waves of stone fruit and berry—think ripe apricot, blackberry jam, and a whisper of tropical mango. The body is syrupy and full, with a lingering finish that carries honey-like sweetness and a subtle floral note. Medium acidity keeps the cup lively without overpowering the fruit-forward profile. This is coffee that tastes like sunlight and patience.
Brew Methods
This natural process coffee shines across methods. As espresso, it delivers jammy sweetness and creamy body—pull it a touch longer (1:2.5 ratio) to tame intensity. For pour over, use a V60 or Kalita Wave with water just off boil to highlight clarity and fruit notes. French press brings out the syrupy body and amplifies berry flavors. Cold brew enthusiasts will find exceptional chocolate-covered cherry character with extended steep times.
