Our coffee grid is designed to help you quickly find the perfect coffee for your taste
and brew method.
At Toby's, we've developed a tasting tool called "THE GRID". This measures the intensity
of the four key attributes found in espresso: acidity, flavour, finish, and mouthfeel.
Each coffee and blend is assigned an intensity level for each attribute and it must hit
this level before it can be released for sale. Our confidence in this program comes from
having a fixed recipe for each coffee, allowing us to understand and taste any changes
in environment, roast, or coffee quality.
Description
Finca El Limo sits at 1,200 metres in El Salvador’s Apaneca-Ilamatepec mountain range, where second-generation producer Jose Enrique Gutierrez has built his farms around specialty coffee. His family originally grew coffee in eastern El Salvador before leaving the industry during the civil war; Jose returned to farming in 2007 with a focus on quality and more sustainable production.
This is an impressive coffee, with a range of complex flavours and underlying botanical notes. The fruity notes are underpinned by a citrus element – its complex and clean. Expect an underlying milk chocolate element that provides all the sweetness. This one is for those who love filter and love single origin coffees.
