Robusta grown by Mario Valiente and José "Fofo" Adolfo on Finca Colomba in Chalchuapa, Santa Ana Department, El Salvador at 1500 meters altitude. Honey processed. Light roast (roast color 144.2) with tasting notes of white rice, sorghum syrup, orange acidity, and cocoa powder. This experimental roast batch was developed lighter than intended and offers an unconventional flavor profile distinct from standard preparations.
Nick and Charlie started S&W Craft Roasting as avid home roasters and built it into a focused, direct to consumer operation based in Coatesville, Indiana. The roastery is veteran owned and runs exclusively online with no brick and mortar retail, keeping the emphasis squarely on the coffee itself. All production goes through a refurbished 1993 Sasa Samiac drum roaster fitted with Agtron color control systems for precise, repeatable results. The catalog runs deep, with roughly 99 single origin varieties sourced from Ethiopia, India, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Colombia, China, and beyond. Their roasting philosophy prioritizes origin character over roast imprint, with no artificial flavorings, preservatives, or additives.
