Los Pirineos, Natural - El Salvador

Los Pirineos has been farmed by the Baraona family for more than 130 years and is led today by Diego Baraona. The farm is recognised as one of El Salvador’s most respected producers, with consistent Cup of Excellence success, in large part due to its location, volcanic soil and cool temperatures.

The property is also home to the country’s largest private coffee seed bank, with more than 80 varietals growing across the farm.

Los Pirineos is known for its progressive approach to processing and fermentation. Diego has been refining experimental techniques over the last decade, including carbonic maceration.

Drying takes place on raised beds positioned on a plateau overlooking the Tecapa volcano, where full sunlight and steady winds allow for slow, even drying and exceptional consistency.

This is a coffee with precision and energy. The fruit is vibrant, the structure is clean, and the sweetness carries through from start to finish. Orange and cranberry acidity carry through ripe nectarine sweetness and a cocoa nib finish.
