El Salvador Santa Ana Coffee Beans | Armadillo Arriba Single Origin
EL SALVADOR SANTA ANA • ARMADILLO ARRIBA
Specialty Grade • Fully Washed • Pacamara & Bourbon • Deep Chocolate • Syrupy Body
Perched on the fertile volcanic slopes of Santa Ana—El Salvador’s highest peak at 2,381 metres and still an active volcano—Potrero Grande Arriba sits at 1,500 MASL within a thriving ecosystem of Inga and fruit trees, where deer and armadillos roam freely. Thousands of years of volcanic activity have packed the soil with natural minerals, unlocking deep chocolate notes and an enduring sweetness that define this cup.
From the legendary Pacamara and Bourbon varietals—the power couple of El Salvador’s coffee heritage—comes a cup of velvety, syrupy body and rare, sophisticated clarity. This is the unique Santa Ana terroir: mineral-rich volcanic soil, high-elevation mountain air, and traditional clay-patio drying at their finest.
