About This Coffee

Tucked into northern El Salvador's cloud-kissed mountains, Chalatenango is a region that has become synonymous with elegance and innovation in Central American coffee. It’s a place where experimental processing meets heirloom varietals, and where each tiny farm feels like a boutique winery in its level of focus and finesse. The elevation and climate offer optimal conditions for slow cherry development, which contributes to coffees that are often delicate yet rich in nuance. There’s a graceful, almost perfumed quality to the brews from Chalatenango—coffees that speak softly but linger long in the memory.
