About This Coffee

This Red Bourbon coffee is grown by Gloria Rodriguez at Finca San Jose in the Apaneca-Ilamatepec region of El Salvador. The coffee is cultivated in volcanic soils and wet processed for clarity. The cup profile is sweet, chocolatey, and citrusy with soft caramel overtones and notes of red fruit brightness. This is a balanced and elegant expression of classic Salvadoran terroir.

Chromatic Coffee

Chromatic Coffee was founded on October 13, 2012 by Hiver van Geenhoven, Wendy Warren, and James Warren in San Jose, California. The roastery operates an Opus 4 with a 200 pound drum, roasting exclusively to order on a Monday through Thursday schedule with a Wednesday evening cutoff for weekly fulfilment. Direct trade relationships include partnerships with Rosalio Ventura at Finca Elizabeth and Hidardo Hernandez at Finca Cascarita in Honduras, both supported by premiums that fund regenerative farming practices. The range specialises in micro lot, producer direct coffees including natural process and anaerobic fermented offerings. Chromatic won Metro's Best New Coffee Roaster in 2013 and Best Coffee Roaster in the 2025 Best of Silicon Valley awards, and is also an authorised dealer for La Marzocco, Fetco, Baratza, and Nuova Simonelli equipment.
