El Salvador Coffee

A diminutive coffee powerhouse, El Salvador might be one of the world's smallest exporters but it consistently produces some of the finest coffee with 95% of the country’s coffee grown under shade. 

From the time cultivation began in the early 19th century, coffee has fueled the economic development of El Salvador, reaching a peak in the 1970s when this tiny country was the world's fourth largest coffee producer. Political instability, increased competition, and the emergence of coffee leaf rust have led to yields decreasing, and El Salvador now accounts for only 1% of global production.

Archived and out of season products

Speciality coffee is a seasonal product. While we work hard to source our coffee from the same farms each year, there is always variability. These are coffees which we have had in the past and may (or may not) have again in the future.

Sale
Archived

?

Archived products are unlikely to come back into stock. This can happen for many reasons, e.g. a limited coffee lot, the farmer no longer grows this coffee, etc.

Out of Season

?

Out of season products are likely to come back into stock next year. Coffee is seasonal and we try to maintain long lasting relationships with the farmers we work with.

Sold out

?

Sold out products are likely to come back into stock soon. This is usually due to a small delay in delivery or roasting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Guatemala produce so many different regional profiles?

Guatemala has many microclimates and diverse geographies, which allow each region - such as Antigua, Huehuetenango, or Cobán - to express their own unique flavours and terroir. Local practices and varietals add even more distinction to each area’s cup profile.

What does volcanic soil contribute to Guatemalan coffee?

Volcanic soils are rich in minerals and are known for draining well, supporting healthy plant growth and vibrant flavours. This soil type is a big reason why Guatemalan coffees often have both depth and clarity.

What tasting notes are typical and to be expected from Guatemalan coffee?

Expect chocolate and toffee sweetness balanced with green apple, citrus, and subtle spice. These coffees are comforting yet lively, making them very approachable.

Which brew method suits Guatemalan coffee?

This is completely down to personal preference, but in our minds filter or cafetière methods showcase the sweetness and balance of Guatemalan coffee beautifully, but these coffees can also shine as sweet, full-bodied espresso.

Are your Guatemalan coffees ethically sourced?

Absolutely. All of our coffee is sourced with 100% traceability and ethical practice. Read more about our coffee sourcing principles here.
