We’re excited to announce two, new specialty roasts to our production. We have been working hard in the Roasting Den to add variety on our shelves that pleases everyone’s’ taste buds.

Our is first new roast is an El Salvadorian from the farm of Finca Santa Leticia is located in a beautiful valley close to the township of Apaneca. In 1865 Francisco Menendez Valdivieso, inherited the land of what today is known as Santa Leticia Farm, name after his daughter. Generations Continued to farming. In 1965, Ricardo assumed full responsibility of the Valdivieso’s coffee legacy. He decided to replace the older “cafetos”, with young Bourbon Coffee plants.

Finca Santa Leticia is surrounded by colorful towns of the central Ilamatepeque Mountain Chain, widely considered to be the best region in El Salvador for coffee cultivation. The majority of the region is mountainous, and although altitude rarely exceeds 1400 meters, it exhibits a number of attributes that lead to high-quality coffee products such as volcanic soil, native lush forest, and a fertile environment. These young plants all came from carefully selected seeds, with the best characteristics from the original “Old Arabica” coffee plants. In 1992 they began “root grafting” all the new seedlings. In this process, they have a stronger root system and a healthy crop of Bourbon and Pacamara.
