The combination of the high altitude of the farm, rich volcanic soil and canopy shaded coffee trees creates the perfect environment for cultivating delicious coffee. After nine months of growth, the coffee is hand-picked and undergoes its first of five levels of sorting, selecting only perfectly ripe cherries. Fernando’s incredible attention to detail in the processing of the coffee is reflected in the vibrancy of the flavours and the strong structure of the cup. Fernando has been growing speciality coffee at the farm for 25 years, winning the prestigious Cup of Excellence six times.

A Commitment to Excellence

Championing speciality coffee from every angle, at every step of the journey. Starting at the source and working with the seasons. Holding ourselves accountable to the highest standards of social and environmental performance. Every sip of our coffee is a result of years of dedication to seasonality, provenance and sustainability.

Producer

We’re fortunate to count Fernando Lima, a third-generation coffee farmer from El Salvador, among some of the producers we’ve worked directly with for a long time. His family business spans over a century, and Fernando has grown speciality coffee on the land for 25 years, winning the Cup of Excellence an impressive 6 times. Nestled in the nutrient-rich volcanic landscape, the family care for 22 coffee farms, and while some producers keenly look to experiment, Fernando is invested in protecting all that his farms currently provide: a haven to local wildlife, and an incredible standard of speciality coffee.

Origin

Whilst El Salvador might be the smallest country in Central America, it has a long and successful history of coffee production dating back to the 1880’s. Renowned for growing some of the world’s most sought-after and high-quality varietals, the country has a broad and highly skilled coffee community. Today's generation of farmers have shifted the focus from quantity to cup excellence, keen to experiment with processes and plant type - placing El Salvador firmly on the world map of speciality coffee.

A nice way to start my day!
Happy as always with this roast from Origin, brewed as a French Press and enjoyed with or without milk. Certainly would be happy to buy again (although there’s almost too much choice here!)

Excellent first choice when signing up for Origin
I have never subscribed to a coffee service before, but the Santa Elena proved to me this is the route to go down. An excellent tasting coffee to put through an Aeropress. I can see myself coming back to this flavour time and time again.
