Finca El Cerro, is the heritage of five generations of Salvadorean coffee producers. The production of coffee has been in their family for over 150 years. Located at the altitude of 1400-1500 m.a.s.l. in the Apaneca Llamatepec Mountain Range, the farm is at an ideal altitude for producing specialty coffee. The special micro climate and the local forest that covers part of the property contribute to a great cup. In 2016 the family decided to process their own coffee and now own a small, eco-friendly, wet coffee mill. At Finca El Cerro coffee is a passion, not only growing it, but also processing, cupping and brewing it.
