Description   Received 12/29/08 Grown in Santa Ana, El Salvador between the Apenaca and Ateno mountain ranges, the farm takes its name from a lagoon that is populated by thousands of frogs (Cerro Las Ranas means Hill of the Frogs). Ripe red cherry is picked and milled in a process that is becoming more and more common throughout Central America. The cherry is processed normally and the coffee is then immediately sent to the clay drying patios still covered in the sweet mucilage where it is laid out, raked and turned to ensure even drying. This process (called Pulped Natural or Honey) imparts a subtle sweetness and fruit note, lending an atypical complexity to the cup. You will find hints of berry, lemon, and citrus flavors with a distinct caramel chocolate undertone here, along with the earthy flavors inherent to the region.   Average Customer Review: Based on 5 Reviews.

Very diverse and unique November 20, 2008 Reviewer: Chuck S from Sierra Vista, AZ United States   This is a very good coffee. Not as sweet as some pulped coffees I've tried, but still the fruity overtones are present. Complex but balanced. The only complaint I have is in the roast induced flavors. Definatley smokey, as tends to be true of Seths roasts, but this one stops just a half step short of a burnt taste. It adds great depth to the undertones, but imparts a bit of harshness to the backfinish. Other than that, exceptional. Was this review helpful to you?

El Salvador Cerro Las Ranas Pulp Natural September 18, 2008 Reviewer: Terrian Mitchell from Yuma, AZ United States   WOWEE! This is what coffee should taste like! After my first cup I called some Old Bisbee Roasters fans in California and they had already had someone else share it with them. It is like drinking smoky fruity hot chocolate, but not anything sissy. (I still haven't tried the OBR chocolate covered fruit!).  Try this to start out the day and resolve to make the rest of the day just as special. Was this review helpful to you?

UNDER THE RADAR-OFF THE CHARTS July 22, 2008 Reviewer: LARS from LAS VEGAS, NV United States   I HAD THIS WHEN IT FIRST CAME INTO SETH'S POSSESSION-IT WAS AMAZING. EVERYBODY WANTED SOME OF MY BEANS, AND THE SWEET TASTE WAS  TRUELY  SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I THINK THIS DESERVES MORE APPRECIATION AND EXPOSURE. Was this review helpful to you?
