This is the latest in a number of coffees we've featured from Mapache Estates in El Salvador. This particular lot is from the El Naranjito farm overlooking the Pacific Ocean. During the rainy season, the trees barely get touched by sunlight. Combined with the considerable humidity, these are excellent growing conditions. This honey processed lot is balanced and approachable.
Mapache maintains a strong commitment to the well-being of coffee forests, ensuring that every farm has a canopy protecting the coffee plants and soil. Their modern wet mill, called Beneficio El Recreo, uses limited amounts of water during the washing process, then recycles and reuses that water in the same process. All the remaining pulp from the wet milling process is incorporated back into the farms as compost, returning key nutrients to the soil.
