What Olisipo Coffee Roasters says about this coffee
ORIGIN
Known as the ‘land of volcanos’, El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America but has a global reputation for cultivating high-quality coffee. Starting in the mid-1700s, coffee production was primarily for domestic consumption but has steadily grown to become one of the major exportable cash crops that provides employment to millions of people.
By the late 1970s, coffee production accounted for more than half of the country’s GDP but socio-economic and political unrest forced many producers to abandon their farms. Since the turn of the millennium, however, international competitions like the Cup of Excellence have pushed El Salvadorian back into the limelight and today, the small country is celebrated in the specialty coffee community for producing world-class coffees.
PRODUCER
This pulped natural coffee is produced by Hermanos Mena (Victor, Alfredo and Jorge) on their 50-hectare farm Villa España near the town of Apaneca. Located near the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Ilamatepec, a beautiful mountainous area of natural importance that hosts many diverse habitats, the nutrient-rich volcanic soils and medium-to-high elevations are perfect for coffee cultivation…

How it sits among coffee from El Salvador
Olisipo Coffee Roasters describe this coffee as fruity, caramel and sweet, chocolate. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from El Salvador; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from El Salvador, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

A further 4 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
