This coffee comes from Emilio’s flagship El Manzano farm, which is planted with 90% Red Bourbon. The beneficio has been set up directly at the farm, allowing cherries to be processed extremely quickly to preserve all their freshness.

Located 16 km from the city and volcano of Santa Ana, also called Ilamatepec in Nahuatl (an Uto-Aztecan language).
El Manzano is situated in a volcanic terroir at an altitude of between 1,300 and 1,550 metres and covers 75 hectares. It belongs to Margarita Diaz de Lopez, the great-granddaughter of its founder, Cornelius Lemus.

At the heart of the farm, you’ll also find our state-of-the-art mill, where our coffees can undergo various processes such as patio, raised bed, and mechanical drying, as well as natural, honey, and washed processing methods.

This degree of cultivation and control of the process has been at the forefront of what makes Finca El Manzano so remarkable. Coffee from this farm has contributed to three national barista championships and first and second place finishes in the 2018 El Salvador COE.
