El Salvador El Angel
How El Salvador El Angel tastes.
High on the Santa Ana volcano.
Finca El Ángel is the sixth and most recent addition to the Silva family's operation, acquired in December 2022. It was originally established in 2018 by the Mathies family, who processed their coffees at the Silva mill in Apeneca. After tasting the first harvest in late 2021, Rafael Jr. and the Mathies family agreed on a sale, bringing El Ángel into the Silva portfolio.
Set high on the volcano's slopes, the farm is planted exclusively with coffee — five varieties in all: Red Bourbon, Orange Bourbon, Pacamara, SL-28 and Geisha. It is in a period of transition as Rafa renovates and refines the original vision while keeping production viable. Early results suggest the direction is sound: in 2024 a naturally processed SL-28 from El Ángel placed second in the Natural category at the El Salvador Cup of Excellence.
Make the most of it.
Proud Mary roast this lot on the date shown on the size chip, and that date is your cut-off to be on the batch. The beans reach us about a week later and your bag ships that same week, so it lands with you around the two-to-three-week mark, when these beans drink best. Grind just before you brew.
Roasted by Proud Mary.
Proud Mary has roasted out of Melbourne since 2009 — one of Australia's most decorated specialty roasters, built on direct, long-running relationships with the farms it buys from. We import their lots because they reach cup quality we can't source any other way. The date on the size chip is when they roast and your cut-off for that batch; the beans reach us about a week later and your bag ships that same week, inside its peak window.

Everything drinkers ask before their first bag. Still curious? Read the full FAQ →
How fresh is the coffee when it arrives?+
The date beside the size is when Proud Mary roast this lot, and it is your cut-off to join that batch. The beans reach us about a week after that, and your bag ships in the week that follows the roast date, which puts it with you around the two-to-three-week mark, when these beans drink best. Once it ships from us, domestic orders usually arrive within 1 to 3 business days.
When is the coffee at its best?+
Beans need about 5 to 7 days to degas, then hold their peak from 7 to 30 days after the roast date printed on the bag. Keep the bag sealed, somewhere dark and room-temperature — never in the fridge.
How does the subscription work?+
Pick your coffee, size and rhythm. Shipping is free on every Malaysian delivery, and you can skip, swap or cancel anytime. FIRSTTASTE takes 15% off your first three shipments.
What if I don't like it?+
Tell us and we'll replace it free, no questions asked. We would rather you found your coffee than kept one you don't love.
Where do you ship?+
Free shipping from RM80 in Peninsular Malaysia and RM150 in East Malaysia. We also ship to Singapore (free from RM200), Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Australia, the UK and most of Europe — rates calculated at checkout.
