This is our raw green coffee which we bring in from a single estate in Ahuachapan, El Salvador. Ahuachapan is close to the Guatemala border, and is on a high volcanic slope that is cool and misty. The coffee species on the farm are Pacamara, Caturra, Geisha, Costa Rica 95 and Bourbon.
I got interested in purchasing this coffee to support a farmer friend who has been working the land in Ahuachapan for over 40 years. We toured his farm a few times, and he told me about the process of making coffee, the challenges that El Salvador has had over the years, and the difficulties of running a farm with no financial credit system.
We started buying coffee from him and tried our hand at selling it roasted in the US. It received great reviews, but I realized that the coffee business is not something to just casually get into.
This project was part of a dream that my friend Robert and I had many years ago, to start a export business out of the country. It took us a long time to do it, but eventually we did do it.
The coffee beans are stored in our dry and cool food service warehouse, in grainpro bags. When we open a bag, we then seal them right away in ecotact bags to keep moisture and scents off of the beans.
We have had great reviews of the coffee thus far. The labratory scored it as an 86, which is a quite exceptional coffee. Most store coffees are around 60, and the highest end is right around the 90s for cupping score. This is truly an incredible coffee and we are proud to bring it from El Salvador.
