Santa Ana is home to some of El Salvador’s finest coffees. The region’s rich volcanic soil and balanced climate create the perfect conditions for growing exceptional Arabica beans. Coffees from this area are known for their smooth, well-balanced flavor, layered with notes of chocolate, nuts, fruit, and a lively brightness.
 
This particular coffee comes from smallholder farmers whose plots dot the lush, mountainous slopes of Santa Ana. They primarily grow two of El Salvador’s signature varieties: Bourbon and Pacas. In the cup, you’ll find flavors of cocoa, dried fruit, and toasted nuts, with a medium acidity and a satisfyingly rich body.
