This coffee is a Pacamara variety from the Chalatenango region of El Salvador, grown at an altitude between 1200 and 1600 meters. It is a semi-washed coffee produced by Brenda Hernandez at Finca El Ojo de Agua and Hector Cruz Ochoa Landaverde at Finca El Naranjo. The flavor profile features notes of black plum, dried cranberry, and Bosc pear. The coffee is processed by pulping the cherries, fermenting them for 15 hours or longer, washing, and drying slowly on raised beds for approximately 15 days.
