El Salvador Las Mercedes Maracaturra Anaerobic Natural

Summary

A Pearl Reserve coffee from Finca Las Mercedes, a family-owned, women-led farm in Cerro El Tigre, El Salvador, run by Lucia Ortiz. This Maracaturra varietal is processed using the ASD (Anaerobic Slow Dry) method: cherries are fermented without oxygen for 90 hours, then dried on raised beds for 30-45 days. The cup is bright and juicy with flavors of blood orange, sugarcane, and black cherry, balanced by a creamy richness and a clean, sweet mouthfeel. The farm has a long history of awards, including Cup of Excellence first place in 2006.
