El Salvador La Cumbre Pacamara

The Baraona family is a well-recognised coffee producer family in El Salvador for its ability to continuously produce high quality specialty coffee. The farm is currently spearheaded by fifth generation producer, Diego Baraona after the passing of his father, Gilberto, who is a very close friend of ours. Gilberto’s vast knowledge in building state of the art of wet and dry mills meant that his own facilities on the top of the Tecapa volcano is world-class. We started working with Gilberto 8 years ago and is proud to continue our relationship with the family through Diego now.

This is a Pacamara variety processed as a natural that has interesting tropical fruit notes like pineapple and strawberry. Due to the wetter weather this year, Diego had to dry this lot of coffee up to 45 days, longer than usual, but at the same time, producing a cup that has a little more fermentation flavours like stewed fruits. We feel this is just the perfect coffee for this Christmas.

This coffee is also the filter coffee subscription for the month of December. You can also watch the video here.
