Finca el Cerro is the heritage of 5 generations of Salvadorean coffee producers.
Coffee growing has been in their family for over 150 years.

Located in the Apaneca Ilamatepec mountain range, the farm is at ideal altitude for producing specialty coffee 1400-1500 m.a.s.l.

In 2016 they decided to process their own coffee, they own a small eco-friendly coffee mill, where they can do their own wet milling.

At Finca El Cerro coffee is passion, not only growing it, but processing it, cupping and brewing it.
This coffee undergoes a dry fermentation process in which the cherries are being dried in a tank in the shade for the first 48 hours, before being placed in the sun for further drying.
