El Salvador, Apaneca-Ilamatepec

Origin: El Salvador Region: Apaneca-Ilamatepec Farms: Puerto Arturo Tasting notes: Piña Colada Process: Anaerobic Natural Cup Score: 87 Discover a beautifully grown specialty coffee from Finca Puerto Arturo, a family-run farm nestled high in the Apaneca-Ilamatepec mountains of western El Salvador. Fourth-generation producer Karla Quiroz de Moises continues her family's commitment to exceptional coffee, cultivating beans in one of El Salvador's most celebrated coffee-growing regions. Finca Puerto Arturo is among the first farms to export coffee under the prestigious Apaneca-Ilamatepec Denomination of Origin—a certification awarded only to coffees grown above 1,200 metres that score 84 points or higher. Historically renowned for its towering Bourbon coffee trees, the farm has undergone significant change in recent years following the impact of coffee leaf rust. To protect the future of the farm while maintaining outstanding cup quality, Karla replanted much of the estate with Pacamara, a variety prized for its resilience, high-altitude performance, and exceptional flavour profile. Grown between 1,480 and 1,600 metres above sea level, this coffee showcases the care, heritage, and innovation that have made Finca Puerto Arturo one of El Salvador's most respected producers. Whether you're brewing filter or espresso, this is a coffee that celebrates the rich history and bright future of Salvadoran specialty coffee. Is this a gift?
