Elefante Dry & Wet Process

About This Coffee

Elefante is a uniquely Salvadoran coffee cultivar discovered by Luis Rodriguez on the family farm. This coffee blends two harvest lots—one dry processed and one wet processed—creating a full-spectrum expression of the cultivar. The dry process contributes lush, fruit-forward intensity with juicy berry and tropical notes, while the wet process adds clarity and structure with clean citrus and delicate florals. The result is a juicy, lively coffee similar to Red Bourbon but with brightness and floral complexity reminiscent of East African coffees.
