El Salvador Finca Himalaya Washed
Farmer: Mauricio A salaverria
Region: Ataco/ Apaneca
Varietal: Bourbon
Process: Washed
Altitude: 1350 to 1450
Q 87.25 Beautiful honey and Cocoa, beautifully sweet and juicy as cools.
Finca Himalaya is located in Apaneca at 1,500 meters and planted primarily with Bourbon. The coffee was processed at the El Divisadero mill owned by Mauricio Salaverria which is located in Ataco, and then dried 100% on african beds which aided in a more evendrying process using both sun and air. This coffee was actually dry milled (hulled) at the beneficio at El Manzano. Mauricio has been involved in coffee all his life thanks to his parents and grandparents, who were all devoted specialty growers from western El Salvador. Mauricio now manages five small farms. This particular lot is another great representation of classic bourbon characteristics from El Salvador. The national crop was down 75% this year so we are extremely lucky to have this coffee.
Guatemala Finca Santa Clara Bourbon Washed
City: Antigua
Altitude: 1,600-1,830m
Variety: 100% Bourbon
Processing: Fully Washed and dried on patio
Owner: Zelaya family.
Very clean, juicy and vibrant with a honey sweetness and notes of apricots.
The Zelaya family has been growing coffee for over 100 years and four generations. This renowned family owns farms throughout Guatemala and grows one of only a handful of genuine ‘Antigua’ coffees (coffees grown in the Antigua valley area bounded by three volcanoes – Agua, Acatenango and Fuego). Finca Santa Clara is located on the fertile southern slopes of the Volcán de Agua in the Antigua Valley at 1,600-1,830 metres. The farm has been managed since 1988 by Ricardo Zelaya, the 4th generation of the Zelaya family to have produced coffee at Santa Clara.
The Zelaya family is passionately committed to both quality and sustainability. The family’s farms are scrupulously well-managed right from the careful selection of varietals planted, to the close supervision of the dry and wet mills. The coffee is shade grown which protects the plants from direct sunlight, maintains soil health, and provides an important habitat for birds and insect life. The family’s mills are also eco-friendly. The water used in the wet processing of the cherries is drained into sedimentation tanks to prevent pollution of the local river systems and the pulp is transformed to humus by worm culture.
Santa Clara won 3rd place in the first Guatemala Cup of Excellence in 2001. The farm was again recognized amongst the winners at Cup of Excellence in 2009 where it finished in 21st place. Santa Clara is also a founding member of APCA, the ‘Genuine Antigua Coffee Producers’ Association’
Won't get on this because I have plenty of beans but I'm looking forward to this getting funded:

You think it will get across the line?
