Small but beautifully kept farm nestled on the foothills of the Santa Ana Volcano with incredible views across Ilamatepec.
This small farm is owned by Jaime Ernesto Riera Menendez, whose family have been producing coffee in El Salvador for several generations & there is clearly a meticulous attention to detail in the cultivation of their bourbon & pacas crop.
We met with Jaime & his farm manager Luis Flores and they believe the reason why his farm was awarded 8th place in the Cup of Excellence this year is the excellent quality of the Bourbon variety, its resistance to roya and also its perfectly balanced altitude and volcanic soil conditions.
In the cup, Miravalle shines with a bright clean acidity that is flavored with notes of tanagerine, green apple and honeydew melon.
