About this coffee :
El Martillo is one a medium sized farm owned by the Salaverria family, and one of our all time favourites. The farms is 19,5 hectares and sits at about 1700 masl, which is a high altitude for El Salvador. The cultivars grown are a mix of Bourbon and Hibrido de San Francisco (a local hybrid of the dwarf bourbon Pacas and old Bourbon Elite).
This farm is part of a project with an El Salvadorian producer, Jose Antonio Salaverria and his two sons Andres and Jose Antonio, the younger. They are 6th generation coffee producers, their ancestors started growing coffee in Huachapan. Jose Antonio Senior's father offered him a house in 1970, but Jose Antonio asked for a farm instead. He was given Finca Los Nogales, which remains in the family and is one of the farms supplying us with coffee.
The coffees from the different farms are all processed at their beneficio (central mill). They bought Beneficio Las Cruces in 1990 and have made significant improvements since then. Much of their success is due to their passion for coffee. They are hard-working and realistic, patient and focused on quality to make their business sustainable. They have also built a great team. Jose Antonio considers his staff as the company's biggest asset.
This lot is processed with an anaerobic natural processed & it's a super intense & vibrant coffee. You'll get vibrant cherry notes paired with cocoa mid tone, finish with a winey twist. A very fruity & delightful coffee to enjoy in the afternoon.
