A honey-processed Arabica from El Salvador's Ilamatepec (Santa Ana) region, grown at 1500 meters altitude on the El Manzano farm owned by Margarita Diaz de Lopez. Produced by Emilio Lopez of Cuatro M, the farm features 90% Red Bourbon on volcanic terroir across 75 hectares. Dried on patios, this coffee delivers a balanced cup with notes of raspberry, cacao, caramel, tropical fruits, honey, strawberry, almond, and lemon.
Romain Fabry traded his career as a lawyer for the world of specialty coffee, founding La Compagnie du Café in 2015 at 19 Rue Notre Dame de Lorette in Paris's 9th arrondissement. The space operates as a roastery, coffee shop, and brunch destination all under one roof, creating a multifaceted experience centered on artisanal roasting. Fabry sources his green beans through direct trade channels, prioritizing traceable single origins that tell a story of their terroir. Each batch is roasted on site with careful attention to preserving the distinct characteristics of its origin. The result is a neighborhood institution where the aroma of fresh roasting mingles with the energy of a bustling Parisian café.
