About El Salvador Los Pirineos SUPERNATURAL

This coffee is SUPERNATURAL... but it’s not a ghost. So what is it?

Supernatural coffee is a Natural coffee on steroids. Natural processed coffee is known for its fruity, funky, and boozy flavours, it is sweet, and is relatively low in acidity when compared to washed coffee. To achieve these flavours, the coffee is dried with the coffee cherry fully intact around the coffee bean. As the coffee dries in layers, the fruit slightly ferments, imparting fruity, boozy, and funky notes that you wouldn’t get from washed process coffee.

So how could you take this further? Project Origin have been working closely with Los Pirineos and together they have experimented with all kinds of processing methods. For Supernatural processing, only coffee cherries with a high percentage of sucrose, 20-22 degrees Brix, are selected. These high sucrose cherries are then placed in plastic Grain-Pro bags usually used for shipping coffee post processing, and left out in the sun to ferment and develop yellow, orange, and red fruit qualities. If lower Brix level coffee cherries were used, the fermentation wouldn’t happen at the same rate, and the result wouldn’t be as fruity or as sweet.

Post fermentation, these cherries are laid out in beds to dry. To accentuate the natural processing flavours, the drying bed is spread thin for even drying and consistent flavour, but is finished drying under shade so the drying stage is stretched out. This allows more contact time with the fruit on the bean, allowing more of the process flavours to transfer into the bean, and allows it to keep the sweetness.

The resulting coffee is intensely fruity, with a chocolate brownie aroma, and molasses like sweetness. Flavours of dark chocolate and papaya instantly hit the tongue, and more tropical notes come to the surface as it cools. A truly unique teat for the senses.

How this works

Simply select how often you want to receive coffee and we’ll ship it to you based on your choice. It's really that easy. You can change or cancel your subscription anytime.

Shipping & Delivery

If you order before noon we will dispatch your package the same business day. Located in the Netherlands? You should receive your order within 24-48 hours. Rural and international deliveries typically take a little longer and should be with you in 2-5 days.

Note: due to COVID-19 restrictions, delivery is expected to take between 1-2 days longer depending on your location.

December: As the holiday season approaches and we all begin to send treats to our loved ones, the couriers get a little run off their feet. The inevitable delays have begun, so to ensure your presents make it under the tree, be sure to order before Friday 20th December.

Shipping Rates

Shipping costs are calculated automatically at checkout. We offer complimentary shipping for orders of €20 and above within the Netherlands. We normally ship via PostNL and often UPS, depending on your location. Deliveries within Amsterdam are powered by the lightning fast delivery service from Foodlogica.

Morning Tracks

Before we turn on the coffee roaster in the morning, there's one thing we just can't go without.. music. We curated several playlists for you to enjoy while sipping. Some are perfect to relax and wind down, others can get a bit loud and noisy from time to time. Some have even been put together by the farmers we collaborate with. Keep on rocking in the free world!
