El Salvador San Jose

Finca San Jose is located in the Santa Ana Volcano, in Juayua, Sonsonate. It has a total area of 70 hectares in which 56 hectares of coffee plantation and 14 hectares of natural rainforest.  

Finca San Jose was established in the late 1890s by the Ruffatti family. In the year 2005, the farm was almost destroyed by the Santa Ana volcano eruption. In 2015, it became part of Café Tuxpal Estate farms owned by our friends, Federico and the Pacas family. It has since undergoing extensive coffee plants renovation, selecting a diverse group of varietals in order to produce a bigger spectrum of cup profiles and at the same time, increasing the crop yields.

We started buying from San Jose in 2019 and this year, we picked up this washed Bourbon which we felt will be a good everyday coffee for our customers. Gentle malic acidity like apple and plums and hint of yellowish fruit that reminds us of golden raisins, finishing off with a creamy milk chocolate finish.
