A New Coffee Variety In El Salvador
On our latest origin trip to El Salvador, we had the opportunity to visit with Maria Pacas. Maria and her family have been producing coffee for 6 generations and currently operate multiple farms. They have complete control over the quality of their coffee as they also operate their own wet and dry mill.

Their operations were truly impressive and the farms, covered by shade trees, exhibited a beautiful array of biodiversity.
