Flowering is as close as it gets. We are patiently waiting to smell the jasmine of the coffee flowers.

With the end of the harvest the new cycle of life continues. These buds will soon be blooming.

Drop it!

Not all coffee cherries mature to a red or plum color. We have a bit of yellow Catuai and some fermentation experiments coming soon.

We have harvested all the full ripe cherries at our farms. These will be ready in a bit so we patiently wait for the last harvesting round.

Today we milled some of the coffee we roast for our local market and competitions.

Harvest mode in full swing. Halfway through one farm, two more to go. Never stop growing.

“Finqueando”, local slang to describe visiting coffee farms with good friends. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Late into the night, we continue to move the finest coffee cherries El Salvador has to offer.

Our parents grew coffee, our grandparents too. This coming Monday marks the start of a new harvest. Big hopes. Big dreams.

With the first round of picking done we patiently wait for the cherries we left off to to ripen. Harvesting full ripe ensures maximum flavor precursors.

About to kick off the first round of harvest! We are ready and no bad weather, pandemic or any other trial will stop us from reaching out goals. Never stop growing!

Doing our share of roasting has helped us understand our coffee so much more. There is a long way from plant to cup, but we learn about the journey of coffee every day a bit more.

The suspense before the harvest is killing us. Even “La Chelona” one of the farms dogs feels it.

Today we had our yearly control audit for our Rainforest Alliance certification at La Sabaneta. Big thanks to and for their commitment to sustainability in coffee.

We couldn’t resist to a double post on so here you go.

On international coffee day we want to wish the best to our fellow coffee growers, not only in SV but also abroad. May the mountain give back to you in joy what you have put in as effort. .

The wellness of our team is crucial to our farms. Last week with the help of the local health clinic our employees got their annual check up! 💪👨‍⚕️🍒

Even though we are months away from the harvest we always get a couple of cherries that are a bit overexcited to end up in tour cup.

Having our own nursery has been a challenge. The upside is that it allows us to have greater care over the plants we move to the field. Quality and consistency in the cup also comes from quality coffee nursery.

Don Rafa, one our most iconic workers at La Sabaneta went on a scavenger hunt for some avocados today.

Water is needed for many labors in coffee growing. These tanks are scattered around La Sabaneta farm to help us collect rain water for us to use in hard to reach places of the mountain.

Bourbon; its tall stature and susceptibility to leaf rust make it hard to grow. Very few few compare to its exquisite taste in the cup. How is your favorite coffee variety grown?

Nestled between the mountains of Santa Ana, small washing stations like this one of a neighboring farm remind us that we are deep in coffee country.

Have you ever see green gold? We have. 💪.
