Day 20 - Coffee Advent Calendar 2022

Three things that are consumed abundantly during the holidays!

Caramel, hazelnut and dark chocolate. These are the notes that accompany this coffee from Fantôme, a roaster from Quebec, who works directly and without intermediary with Mauricio Salaverria, a producer from the Apenaca region in El Salvador. It represents the expression of a more roasted coffee than usual at this roaster, without however falling into dark or so-called "Italian" roasting. To be drunk as a filter or an espresso, pairing well with milk.
