OUR COFFEES

The coffee that comes

The coffee that comes
from our mountains

All of our coffee is born on the same four family farms, in the Tecapa-Chinameca mountain range, Usulután — volcanic soil, natural shade, and more than two generations of experience behind every harvest.

Varieties

We grow several varieties depending on the farm and the altitude: from the classic Bourbon and Marsellesa, to Icatu, Anacafé 14 and, in our highest lots in La Ale, specialty coffees like Geisha. Each variety brings its own character to the cup.

Together, we also work with San Pacho, Cuscatleco, Sarchimor, and Central American H-1 Hybrid — each farm contributing its own combination based on altitude and soil.

Process

We process our coffee using the washed method, the standard for our entire operation: it is depulped, washed, and dried in the sun or in dryers fueled by firewood from the farms themselves. It is a process designed to preserve the cleanliness and clarity of the flavor.

We use J Gallo pulpers and a Belcosub washer, and we dry on brick patios or in Guardiola dryers fueled with firewood from our own farms.

Quality

Each harvest undergoes analysis by a certified official cupper. Our coffees score in the range of 82.5 to 85 points out of 100 on the SCA scale — placing them within the specialty coffee category.

Altitude

Our highest farm, La Ale, reaches up to 1,500 meters above sea level — an altitude that translates directly into more complex, higher-quality cups.

Together, our four farms range from 800 to 1,500 meters above sea level — a span that allows us to offer different cup profiles within a single operation.
