El Salvador Finca Majahual Orange Bourbon 48h – Espresso

Five Elephant Coffee Roastery

About This Coffee

This single-origin coffee from Finca Majahual in El Salvador's Los Naranjos Valley features the Orange Bourbon variety processed with a 48-hour anaerobic fermentation in sealed, oxygen-free barrels. Hand-selected cherries undergo precise fermentation to enhance fruit character while maintaining varietal clarity. After fermentation, the beans are dried on raised beds under shade for approximately 26 days before greenhouse stabilization. The volcanic soil and cool air currents of the region contribute to the coffee's distinctive profile of red grape, dates, and tangerine notes with soft, expressive, layered characteristics.

Five Elephant Coffee Roastery

Kris and Sophie Schackman founded Five Elephant in December 2010, opening their original cafe at Reichenberger Strasse 101 in Berlin Kreuzberg while establishing a separate roasting facility on Glogauer Strasse. Head roaster Wojtek Białczak, who placed fifth at the 2019 World Barista Championship in Boston representing Germany, oversees quality on a Diedrich roaster, ensuring every batch meets exacting standards. The roastery offers espresso, filter, and omni roast profiles, with their Meridian Collection showcasing diverse terroirs and varietals from Ethiopia, Guatemala, Kenya, and the Mogiana region of São Paulo, Brazil. Every coffee is cupped after roasting for quality control and flavor profiling, a discipline that reflects their commitment to consistency across four Berlin cafe locations. Direct trade relationships built through origin travel underpin their sourcing, and wholesale distribution extends their reach to partners around the world.
