Las Brumas

Las Brumas Anaerobic Natural SL28 is produced by our longtime partner and friend, Ernesto Menéndez. This super special SL28 from Las Brumas is one of Ernesto’s top lots, he prepared this to competition standard, which means more sorting as a smaller lot, and extra care and attention. Located in the forest of the Apaneca-Ilamatepec mountain range, Las Brumas is totally different from any other coffee farm we've ever seen. The coffee trees at Las Brumas are spread out in the forest to be built up as "wild grown" as possible, without interfering with nature.

Nearly 70 years ago, the previous owner of Las Brumas planted SL28 seeds on the farm, seeds which had been taken home to El Salvador from a hunting trip in Kenya. Over time they've of course adapted to the different growing conditions and terroir, but still hold their trademark cooling finish and hibiscus notes of this varietal. Today the SL28 is grown side by side with newer Pacamara, Ernesto's philosophy is the mix the two as they belong together and impact each other. So this will be the closest you ever come to a "blend" at Drop Coffee.
