You may remember our June Single Origin El Salvador Monte Sion Honey, which featured tasting notes of: Chocolate, Weetbix, roasted almonds, yellow peach, and a long panela sugar finish.

While both come from the same origin, the processing methods create very distinct flavour profiles:

– Honey Process (June) A more rounded, comforting profile, highlighting chocolatey sweetness, cereal and almond notes, balanced with soft fruit like yellow peach and lingering panela sugar.

– Natural Process (August) More fruit-forward and aromatic, with brighter acidity, tropical fruit and floral elements, and a longer, more expressive finish.

Same farm, different process and two completely unique expressions. If you’re drawn to bold, fruit-forward flavours, this Natural Monte Sion is not to be missed.
