2nd Place: [ SL28 ] El Salvador / Santa Ana Region / Jota Jil Selection Center / SL28 / Washed


Coming in at number two is coffee from El Salvador. It offers excellent value for money and is a perfect choice for those new to roasting events.
In addition to the juicy acidity that is characteristic of SL28 , the flavors of ginger, apricot, and anise also stand out, and both are in perfect balance.
While it's not a single-farm brand, the quality is so amazing that you'll wonder, "Is this really a product from an agricultural cooperative!?"
Given that they carefully selected the altitude and soil from among the surrounding farms, the cleanliness of the cup is what truly stands out, even among the high-quality El Salvadoran coffees.

Depending on the roasting level, this coffee offers a wide range of flavors, from gentle sweetness to citrusy fruitiness, allowing you to savor its complex taste.

1st Place: 【SJBA】Brazil/São John Grande Farm/ Bourbon /Anaerobic


And the number one wine of the year is [SJBA] Brazil/São John Grande Farm/ Bourbon /Anaerobic!

This anaerobic-finished Bourbon from the precious Saint John Grande farm is a limited-edition batch specially made for CROWD ROASTER . You won't find it anywhere else.

This particular batch is a complex and distinctive coffee, possessing the characteristic savory aroma of Brazil, a fruity acidity uncharacteristic of Brazilian coffee, and a subtle hint of anaerobic fermentation.

We had many roasters roast the beans, resulting in a coffee where the unique characteristics of each roaster are clearly discernible.

One of the great things about CROWD ROASTER is that even with the same brand of coffee, you can enjoy different flavors depending on the roaster.
If you find a particular blend that interests you, it's a good idea to order the same blend from multiple roasters.
