Coffees from El Salvador, the new terroir for specialty coffee

There are two ways of making specialty coffee. There's the productivist way, where you don't bother too much with nature, where you go out and boost nature. 

Then there's a much more loving, sensual, ecological way of making coffee.

Mauricio fits into this second category, as he is an artist who has known how to grow. 

Diego Baranoa represents the 5th generation of coffee growers on this paradise farm in El Salvador.

Pirineos Coffee Farm, near the city of Berlin, is located in the east of the country, in the Usultan region.

At an altitude of 1400 metres and with around 80 different varieties of coffee, Pirineos is a benchmark in El Salvador.

The aim of this farm is to magnify quality and seek out different, unique profiles in the coffees.

Fernando Escobar wasn't destined for a career as a coffee grower, but when his parents put the family farm up for sale, he decided to devote his life to this magical product, and in particular to the cultivation of Geisha, for whom he reserved the finest plots on the steep volcanic slopes of the estate. 

El Cuto, named after a legendary Salvadorian character who takes from the rich to give to the poor, is the union of four farms and Terres de Café around a project: to reactivate, in a sustainable way for local communities, the production of quality coffee at mid-altitude, in the face of global warming. Reforestation, rainwater management, the return of biodiversity and mixed farming (honey, vanilla, cocoa, ibiscus, etc.) are the pillars of the project.
