Blueberry, Lemonade, Jasmine

A brilliantly processed coffee from our long-term partner, Fernando Lima. Combining clarity with a surprisingly delicate profile for a natural, this coffee is the result of a well-managed cold fermentation.

This microlot, sourced from the Santa Elena Tablón #2 within the Santa Elena complex, has been processed using a meticulously managed cold fermentation method. The ripe cherries were sealed in Grainpro bags for 48 hours, allowing them to ferment with the leachate intact at a controlled temperature of 12 degrees Celsius. The resulting coffee is light and well-balanced with pronounced fruity notes.
Following fermentation, the coffee was dried in direct sunlight for eight days to initiate the drying process, and then to preserve the delicate flavour balance, the remaining drying was completed under shade over 16 days, allowing for a gradual stabilisation and well-rounded final cup.

Freda's Thoughts What is speciality coffee?

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.
