This coffee is a naturally processed gesha, hand picked and sun dried on raised beds. The farm itself has a long history dating back to its foundation in 1872. Fast forward to more recent times and the farm has been at the cutting edge of coffee production with experimentation in new cultivars and processing methods. To this end, coffee from El Manzano has contributed to three national barista championships, as well as first and second place finishes in the 2018 El Salvador CoE.

The recommended brew methods for this specific coffee include filter, plunger, AeroPress and pour-over.
As a pour-over using the (recommended) recipe below, we are tasting black tea, dried apricot, and light florals.
Our recommended recipe follows a 1:15 ratio (i.e., 15g coffee : 225g 94°C water) – it is also worth noting that in order to get the best out of this coffee, we recommended drinking it black (i.e., without the addition of milk).
