Origin Story

Grown in Monte Verde:

El Salvador’s Monte Verde region, nestled in the highlands, provides the ideal environment for coffee cultivation. The region’s volcanic soil, combined with cool temperatures and abundant rainfall, allows coffee beans to ripen slowly, developing deep, complex flavors. Coffee is grown at altitudes of 1,200 to 1,800 meters, which helps bring out the natural bright acidity and crispness in the beans.

The region is also known for its sustainable farming practices. Local farmers employ organic methods and work to preserve the natural landscape, ensuring that each batch of Monte Verde coffee contributes to both environmental sustainability and the local community’s well-being.

Roasting Process

Light Roast Technique:

Our El Salvador Monte Verde Light Roast is carefully roasted to preserve the delicate, nuanced flavors of the beans. The light roast allows the coffee’s natural fruity and floral notes to shine through while maintaining a crisp and clean cup. The beans are roasted at lower temperatures to highlight their natural acidity and brightness, resulting in a vibrant, flavorful coffee experience.

Expert Craftsmanship:

The roasting process is handled by skilled artisans who understand the unique characteristics of Monte Verde beans. They carefully monitor the roast to ensure that the bright, complex flavors are preserved, providing a cup that’s both refreshing and aromatic.
