El Salvador SHG

Walnuts, toffee, chocolate

Our El Salvador coffee is a blend of a number of small farms across the main regions of Ahuachapan, Chalatenango, La Libertad, Santa Ana and San Salvador. Average farm size is 1.5 ha, the farm family owned and run. It’s estimated that today that there are over 15 thousand small growers although the total output is relatively small, under 90,000 tonnes per year. The majority of the coffee is shade grown with the Bourbon variety estimated to be about 60% of the coffee grown. A natural mutation of Bourbon called Pacas originated in El Salvador and accounts for over 20% of the coffees grown.ORIGIN                        Guatemala
