LA DALIA

About This Coffee

In the Apaneca mountains in western El Salvador, not far from the border with Guatemala and only 40 minutes from the sea, the Guillen family has been growing coffee for five generations. Mainly the Bourbon and Pacamara varieties, but also some Geisha. On their four farms "San Antonio", "La Dalia", "El Mercurio" and "Santa Teresa" they produce a total of 900 quintals. The 16ha large Finca La Dalia is located at an altitude of 1500m. On an area of 7ha, the Pacamara plants grow on clay soil and on steep slopes under cedar, mahogany and Pepeto trees. The huge Pacamara cherries are sun-dried on raised beds for 24 days after picking. The result is a super sweet coffee with notes of cocoa, toffee and black currant.
