Bosque Lya

Bosque Lya coffee offers a delightful flavour profile with tasting notes of hazelnut, plum, and milk chocolate. This medium-intensity coffee has a smooth and balanced body, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate a complex yet approachable cup.

Bosque Lya coffee is sourced from Santa Ana in El Salvador. The farm's location offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and volcanoes, including the dramatic El Chingo Volcano.

While both Bosque Lya and Apaneca coffees share similar flavour notes of hazelnut, plum, and milk chocolate and are both from El Salvador, the key difference lies in their origin. Bosque Lya comes from the Santa Ana region. The farm's elevation and unique ecosystem contribute to the distinct flavour profile of the coffee.

Whereas Apaneca coffee is grown in the Cordillera Apaneca, a mountain range in Western El Salvador. The fertile foothills of this range provide ideal growing conditions for the bourbon varietal, with a different terroir that influences its overall flavour and character. Despite similar tasting notes, the geographical differences between the two regions create subtle nuances in their coffee profiles.

Bosque Lya coffee is an award-winning coffee, having earned a prestigious 1-star rating at the Great Taste Awards for four years in a row. This recognition highlights the exceptional quality and craftsmanship behind the coffee, making it a top choice for coffee connoisseurs who value both flavour and provenance.

The Bosque Lya farm is unique not only for its high-quality coffee production but also for its commitment to environmental preservation. With 64 hectares dedicated to coffee production and the rest preserved as natural rainforest, the farm is a haven for wildlife, including rare birds, wild cats, and armadillos. The use of shade trees throughout the farm further enhances biodiversity, blending the coffee-growing area seamlessly with the surrounding forest.

Bosque Lya coffee has a medium roast intensity, perfectly balancing the natural flavours of hazelnut, plum, and milk chocolate. This roast level allows the coffee's unique characteristics to shine without overpowering its subtle sweetness and smooth finish.

To get the best flavour out of Bosque Lya coffee, we recommend brewing it using a pour-over method, such as V60 or Chemex, which highlights its complex flavours and aromas. Alternatively, it also works beautifully in a French press or drip coffee maker. Use fresh coffee, with a medium grind size, and adjust the brewing time according to your preferred method to extract the full range of flavours.
