El Salvador San Ernesto Honey

Introducing Our El Salvador San Ernesto Honey Coffee Blend

Indulge in the exquisite taste of our Salvadoran coffee, a blend that embodies El Salvador’s rich, diverse landscape in every sip. Ethically sourced from the renowned San Ernesto farm, this coffee promises a unique and unforgettable experience for discerning palates.

Now in their sixth generation, brothers Enrique, Rene and Gustavo run San Ernesto alongside their two other farms. Their father Gustavo is still involved as an advisor, giving them the benefit of his experience.

The farm is split into twenty-eight tablons, allowing them to produce microlots if they wish. Each is between 3 and 6 hectares. In 2012/2013 they lost 80% of their coffee plantations to leaf rust, and the renewal has changed their way of management. Instead of pruning some of the trees, they are systematically pruning the whole parcel of land.

Planting one varietal of coffee on each section of land helps with better management. This strategy has further evolved to start encompassing select varietals at their best performing altitudes and will form the planting structure over the next few years.

All the Urrutias Estate coffees are 100% shade grown and native trees are planted every year to prevent erosion. The main trees which are grown are the izote and the copalchi which also act as a natural wind barrier.

Whether you’re starting your day with a robust cup, enjoying a relaxing afternoon brew, or impressing guests at a dinner party, El Salvador San Ernesto Honey Coffee is the perfect choice.

Origin Of El Salvador Coffee

El Salvador, though one of the smallest countries in Central America, boasts a rich tradition of coffee cultivation. Among its many acclaimed coffees, the San Ernesto Honey coffee stands out for its unique flavour profile and meticulous production process.

This Salvadoran coffee is a distinctive and highly sought-after variety of coffee known for its unique flavour profile and meticulous processing methods. This exquisite coffee originates from the lush, mountainous region of San Ernesto in Central America, an area renowned for its ideal coffee-growing conditions. The rich volcanic soil, combined with the perfect balance of rainfall and sunshine, creates an environment where coffee plants thrive and produce beans of exceptional quality.

Finca San Ernesto, the farm responsible for this exceptional coffee, is a family-owned estate with a longstanding commitment to sustainable farming practices and quality production. The estate is approximately 1,200 to 1,500 metres above sea level, a prime altitude range that contributes to the beans’ complex flavours and aromatic qualities.
