This is a wonderfully easy drinking coffee with a sweet apple crumble vibe

Origin: San Salvador Volcan, El Salvador
Producer: Aguilar family
Variety: Mixed 
Harvest: Jan 2020 - Mar 2020

For six generations, the Aguilar family has produced coffee on the shade-rich land on the north-eastern slope of the San Salvador Volcano, with a direct view over the capital city of San Salvador. The estates cover nearly 160 hectares at altitudes ranging from 1,250 to 1,700 meters (4,100 to 5,577 feet), the top of the farm being unusually high for El Salvador and lending to great coffee growing potential.

The coffee has been processed in keeping with ecological friendly processes at the nearby Tuxpal mill. A neat and efficient wet and dry mill serving the local specialty producers, with patios and raised beds, optical sorting and a clear attention to detail. Washed coffee is held in fermentation tanks for around 12 hours. Sun dried on clay patios for 14+ days, to help create a rich full body and clean cup. Fernando’s vision of utilising the natural advantage of altitude and re-committing to varietals that lend to best cup profile over rust resistance and yield, and simply managing the plant stock through good farm work, agronomy investment and experience is a bold one, but managed impeccably well. This has allowed the emergence of very high quality production in general, including this specially prepared selection from pickings around the estate.

*Our coffee is freshly roasted each week and orders are dispatched on Tuesday and Friday. Due to COVID-19 Royal Mail are still experiencing delays which means your coffee may arrive a few days later than normal. Apologies for any inconvenience.
