Las Tinieblas Washed

About This Coffee

This is a washed coffee from the Las Tinieblas farm in La Libertad, El Salvador. The Pacas variety is processed using the washed method. The coffee features a fine chocolate base with lightly crisp, citrus-like characteristics reminiscent of orange or lemon. Las Tinieblas encompasses five fincas that surround the central processing station, founded in 1930 and owned by the Samour family since 2008. The farm has its own dry mill since 2013, controlling all processing steps from cherry to export. Coffee is grown under shade trees with native plants and wildlife. Harvest period is December 2020 to March 2021.
