El Porvenir translates to “the future” or “things to
come.” It also happens to be the very first coffee
Madcap ever purchased back in 2008. We haven’t stopped yet, and it continues to be one of the three coffees we buy every year from the Rodriguez family. Headed by 4th generation farmer Gloria Rodriguez, the Rodriguez family operates five small farms located in the Apaneca region — known as the “Golden Coffee Belt” — in El Salvador. Intention and care are woven into every step of the process, from picking and separating the two varieties present in El Porvenir to washing and drying the cherries on raised patios. While the elevation of El Porvenir sits lower than most of our line-up, the area fosters a unique terroir benefitting from cool nights, constant wind, and the volcanoes surrounding the area. This year, we’re finding notes of brown sugar, rich black cherry and baking chocolate in this sweet yet round bodied
cup.
