Perched on the rim of a dormant volcano in central El Salvador, the Montecarlos estate is bursting with incredible coffees. It’s managed by fifth generation producer Carlos Batres, a longtime partner for Passenger, and the roaster strives to offer this washed Bourbon year round. We tasted a light, tea-like body, a lime citric acidity, and deliciously approachable notes of milk chocolate, dried apricot, and pear.
All coffees are roasted to order and shipped direct from the roaster.
Fellow's Unique Selection Process
Every coffee we share has been tasted and recommended by our expert Tasting Panel who have years of experience in specialty coffee. We cast a wide net, trying hundreds of coffees, keeping an open mind to new regions, processes, and roasters, and going through many rounds of cupping. If there was an easier way of choosing each coffee, we wouldn’t want to do it. For exclusive weekly coffee suggestions from our panel, join Fellow Drops!
