Origin
Nicknamed ‘Pulgaruto’, which means ‘little thumb’, El Salvador might be the smallest country in Central America, but its people have lent a big hand in shaping the future of speciality coffee. This densely populated country is renowned for high quality varietals, fertile soils, and an innovative spirit across its many coffee-producing regions.
Producer
In El Salvador, challenges like labour shortages and irregular maturation periods have led to lower-grade coffee cherries being left on trees, often overlooked during processing. For Carlos Pola and Don Acuña, however, such challenges presented a doorway to experimentation. From the Las Brisas farm, the duo looked to improve cup quality through a rehydrated natural project. For this, they dried coffee cherries on trees, then soaked them in water before carefully drying on raised beds situated in shade.
The surprising outcome was a fruit-forward, transparent mouthfeel with abundant tropical and citrus notes. This innovative approach breathed new life into unwanted coffee, showcasing potential and quality, exemplifying the collaborative and experimental nature of our relationship with Carlos, and highlighting how innovative approaches can unlock unique flavours from unexpected sources.
