Mastery through Refinement
At the heart of our farm is a singular pursuit: to perfect the craft of coffee by refining every element that shapes its character. From soil composition and altitude to sunlight patterns, companion plants, harvest timing, and post-harvest fermentation, every variable is studied, tested, and optimized.
Ideal Elevation
1,450–1,750m Above Sea Level
Our farm is located in Jayaque, El Salvador, within the La Libertad region, sitting between 1,450 and 1,750 meters above sea level. In this zone is part of the Apaneca-Ilamatepec mountain range, the cooler temperatures slow cherry maturation, which leads to denser beans with more developed sugars and organic acids—ideal for achieving bright acidity, clean profiles, and complex flavor layers in the cup.
Soil Composition
Volcanic. Mineral-Rich. Alive.
Our soil was born from centuries of volcanic activity, rich in magnesium, potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Its high porosity provides ideal drainage, while its mineral balance supports deep root development and nutrient absorption. This environment produces cherries with elevated sweetness and vivid aromatics—flavor that begins underground.
Microclimate
Grown Beneath Avocado Trees
Shade-grown beneath a canopy of naturally occurring avocado trees, our microclimate protects cherries from heat stress and sunburn while encouraging slow, even ripening. These trees contribute to soil vitality and act as natural companions—regulating humidity and enriching the ecosystem. The result: balanced acidity, deeper sweetness, and more refined texture.
Harvest
Picked at Their Peak
Every cherry is hand-harvested with intention, guided by refractometer readings and visual cues to ensure only the ripest fruit is selected. We harvest in multiple passes, returning again and again until each cherry reaches its prime. This level of attention produces coffee with precise sweetness and extraordinary consistency.
Processing
Engineered for Flavor
We use scientifically optimized processing methods—including anaerobic natural, honey, and washed techniques—each customized by lot. Every step, from fermentation time to pH and temperature control, is tuned to maximize clarity, body, and aromatic depth. These aren’t just methods—they’re flavor blueprints, designed for roasters who demand more.
