Gourmet coffee for everyday life

The coffee from El Salvador, specifically from the Ahuachapan region, benefits from the unique climate and soil conditions of the area, resulting in a coffee of exceptional quality.
The coffee is grown at an altitude of at least 1100 meters above sea level, which allows the beans to develop a deep and complex flavor. The combination of a mild climate, rich soils and careful cultivation gives the coffee a unique character, expressed in its refreshing sweetness, fruity notes and creamy texture. Ahuachapan coffee is not only a pleasure for the taste buds, but also a tribute to the artisanal tradition and passion that goes into each cup.
