Profile - Apricot, Cherry, Caramel
La Montaña is run by Carlos and Gerardo Mendez who are the second generation to work the farm. Their focus has been on quality and sustainability, constantly improving their processes and quality of their coffees. Coffee production in the Apaneca-Ilamatepec mountain range, where La Montana is located, began in the mid-19th century. This region is known for its rich volcanic soil and diverse micro-climates, which produce a variety of unique coffee flavors. As a rule, shade-grown coffee is cultivated here, growing under a canopy of various tree species. This protects the plants from direct sunlight and allows for slow growth, resulting in more complex flavors in the beans.
El Salvador has long been a favourite origin of ours and this coffee is great example of why we love it so much. It has the ideal balance of body and sweetness that we love. Easy to drink but still interesting. We have been really enjoying this as an espresso in a flat white or Americano but it is equally well suited as a filter coffee. A real all rounder
