Finca Los Angeles

Founded in 2017, Finca Los Angeles is a 16-hectare farm in El Salvador’s Apaneca region, planted almost entirely with Pacamara. This distinctive variety is a cross between Pacas and Maragogype.

The farm places care into understanding its soils, maintaining healthy trees and selecting cherries at their ideal ripeness. Soil conservation and groundwater protection form part of its approach to looking after the land, while careful harvesting helps preserve the quality of each lot.

Black Honey Process

After the cherry skin is removed, the coffee dries with its sticky fruit mucilage retained around the seed. Black honey processing retains a high amount of this mucilage, extending the drying time and giving the coffee a dark appearance as it dries.

This process can bring depth, fruit intensity and a fuller texture to the cup. In this lot, it complements the burnt sugar sweetness, cooked citrus and gentle praline character.
