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.
It is worth mentioning that this is a limited release; considering that this is the same coffee we use for our Drip Bags, we decided to release our final stock as an omni-roast single origin. Therefore, it will be available until mid-March (pending stock).
