About the farm:
The Alvarez family has been growing coffee in El Salvador for over a century, spanning four generations. Their award-winning beans come from La Reforma and Santa Maria, two small farms nestled in the fertile, volcanic hills of Santa Ana.
Coffee cherries are hand-picked from December to March by trained pickers using traditional hand woven baskets, ensuring only the ripest fruit is selected. Grown under native shade trees, the coffee benefits from improved soil health, biodiversity, and natural pest resistance.
The beans are processed at the family’s El Borbollon mill, run by Eduardo Alvarez, who inherited his passion for coffee from his father. Eduardo has elevated the mill’s reputation, expanded into specialty markets, and supported local farms with expert guidance, continuing the family’s legacy of quality and sustainability.
A tasty cup with notes of sticky plum and a well rounded, juicy body easy to enjoy any time of day.
