About Producer & Farm

About Producer

Mauricio Salaverría grows coffee in El Salvador’s Ataco and Apaneca regions, where shade-grown practices and layered drying patios bring out clean, expressive flavours. Known for his meticulous care, each lot is tracked by harvest date and processed with precision. He also reuses cherry skins to craft cascara tea from his Bourbon and Pacamara varietals — a reflection of his creativity and care for the environment.

About the Farm

Villa Galicia, in Ataco, El Salvador, has a humid, windy climate, unique clay soil, and 50% shade from large trees. Coffee trees grow up to 2 meters tall under the heavy shade, thriving in nutrient-rich soil fertilised naturally with organic matter. All coffee processing and drying are done on-site, with the farm's high altitude and windy conditions providing ideal drying environments for exceptional coffee quality.
Processing Method

Natural Processed

Ripe cherries are hand-picked and sorted, then slowly dried on raised beds for 20–30 days. Beans are stored in pods after drying to enhance sugar and fruit flavours before export.

When to Open & Best Enjoyed

Filter

Ready to open:
Day 5 — can be aged and remain unopened til Day 21

After opening:
Enjoy within 18 days

Why?
Freshly roasted coffee needs time to “rest.” In the first few days, it’s still releasing CO₂, which can make your cup taste sharp or gassy. Giving it a little time helps the coffee open up, bringing out more clarity, sweetness, and a cleaner finish.

(Once opened, coffee begins to age faster due to exposure to air. Enjoy within this period for the best experience.)
