El Salvador Los Pirineos

About This Coffee

This coffee comes from Los Pirineos, a historic family-run specialty coffee farm on the Tecapa volcano in Usulután, eastern El Salvador. The farm is led by fifth-generation producer Diego Baraona and has over 125 years of coffee cultivation history. Grown at 1300-1500 meters altitude in the Tecapa-Chinameca region, this Bourbon variety coffee is washed processed. The coffee features tasting notes of plum, red cherry, golden raisin, and roasted hazelnut. Harvested in February 2025, the farm benefits from volcanic soils and is known for maintaining one of El Salvador's largest private seed banks and meticulous processing methods.

Nylon Coffee Roasters

Nylon Coffee Roasters was founded in 2010 by husband and wife Dennis Tang and Jia Min Lee, who named the venture after New York and London, the two cities where they had built previous careers in IT and banking. The micro roastery opened its doors in May 2012 at Everton Park, a quiet public housing estate that has since become a pilgrimage spot for Singapore's specialty coffee community. Dennis and Jia Min roast on a Probat UG15 visible through glass in a room they call The Maillard Project, and serve coffee on a restored two group La Marzocco GS/2 that was found in Seattle and refurbished in Hong Kong. A member of 1% for the Planet and World Coffee Research, Nylon signed the Transparency Pledge in 2022 and sources beans seasonally, stocking only what is fresh and in harvest.
