PRODUCER
The Alvarez family owns the La Reforma farm, located in the beautiful Apaneca Ilamatepec mountain range. They focus on cultivating the African SL28 variety, and this specific lot was grown on the slopes of the famous Ilamatepec volcano in Santa Ana. Although the farm does not have an official certification, the Alvarez family manages it with sustainable practices in line with the Rainforest Alliance. The coffee is cultivated under the shade of native trees and Inga trees.
PROCESSING
At La Reforma farm, the coffee plants bloom up to three times per season, typically during April and May. The harvest of ripe cherries then takes place from December to February. After picking, the cherries are prepared on the farm for natural processing. Drying occurs on raised beds for approximately 18 days. Afterward, the coffee is sent to El Borbollon, a family-run processing station with over a century of experience.
VARIETY
SL 28 is one of the most renowned coffee varieties. Originally from Kenya, it is known for its high quality and drought resistance. It was developed by the Kenyan Scott Agricultural Laboratories (hence the name SL). It quickly gained fame for its ability to produce complex and balanced flavors with distinctive notes of black currant, citrus, and a gentle sweetness. SL 28 coffee typically has a vibrant acidity and a rich body. Growing SL 28 in El Salvador brings unique flavor profiles that combine Kenyan heritage.
