Santa Rosa

This is one of the lots that make up our direct-trade initiative with producers in Chalatenango, El Salvador, with whom we have worked once again, becoming involved in the processes so that we can begin processing our lots from the very beginning.

Santa Rosa is the crown jewel of the Rivera family. They originally purchased this farm with the goal of reforesting the native forest that had been lost. Coffee cultivation came later, when they discovered that the pine canopy created a distinct microclimate that helped develop better flavors under the shade of the trees. At the same time, Jorge Raúl Rivera worked his own Pacamara variety, selecting the plants that produced the highest quality fruit. So, as if by design, these were planted on the farm.

Thanks to the family's effort and meticulous work, they have won the Cup of Excellence on 4 four occasions: 2025, 2019, 2017, and 2014

We can thus assure you that this is a farm created in a unique environment and exclusively dedicated to producing very high-quality coffee, which is what all its practices are focused on.

This coffee was processed entirely at the family's mill. The ripe cherries were picked and allowed to rest for 24 hours before being pulped, with several rinses to prevent unwanted fermentation. Subsequently, the fruit was pulped and placed on African beds with the mucilage, where it rested for a total of 21 days under shade.
