El Salvador Las Veraneras Black Honey

About This Coffee

This coffee is sourced from Finca Las Veraneras in the Apaneca-Ilamatepec mountain range of El Salvador, grown at an altitude of 1750 meters. The San Pacho variety is processed using the Black Honey method, where the mucilage is left intact during shade drying. This process results in a cup with a silky body and syrupy sweetness. Tasting notes include dried apricot, prune, panela, toasted almond, and a subtle anise spice complexity, complemented by a juicy acidity.

Vigilante Coffee

Vigilante Coffee started in 2012 on Chris Vigilante's back porch in Washington, DC, with a used three kilogram Diedrich roaster. From that modest beginning, the company grew into a roasting operation now built around a 12 kilogram Loring, with head roaster Franklin Ventura shaping the roast profiles since 2014. Sourcing is personal: Vigilante visits each coffee producer directly, building multiyear relationships and participating in auctions at origin. The company works with Certified B Corp importers and pursues zero waste across its operations, using compostable bags and recyclable packaging. Vigilante earned the Slow Food DC Snail of Approval, a designation that reflects its commitment to quality, transparency, and responsible production.
