About This Coffee

This single-origin coffee comes from Finca El Cerro in the Apaneca Llamatepec mountains of El Salvador. The farm is run by Fernando Leto Escobar and has been growing coffee for five generations. The coffee is a natural processed Pacamara variety. The special microclimate of the region is ideal for specialty coffee cultivation. The flavor profile features vibrant fruity notes with prominent acidity and deep sweetness, including strawberry and grape aromas.

Co-founders Matthias Hoppenworth and Julian Ploch have been roasting on a Giesen W30A in their Sachsenhausen roastery since 2019, with a strong focus on light roasts that reveal the full complexity of each origin. They were named Roaster of the Year 2021 by Crema Magazine, and their team includes a German Roasting Master champion. Alongside their three Frankfurt cafés — including one in the beautifully reconstructed new Altstadt — they run popular barista courses and supply offices and restaurants. Their stated mission: pushing toward a fairer, friendlier, and more sustainable food and hospitality industry.
