The story behind the cup
The producer
Finca Agua Caliente is located in El Salvador’s Apaneca–Lamatepec region, an area known for its high-altitude coffee farms and fertile volcanic soils. The farm takes its name from the nearby thermal hot springs, whose mineral-rich waters are used during processing. Coffee cherries are carefully hand-picked before being pulped, fermented and washed on site, with every stage closely monitored to ensure consistency and quality. With a focus on careful processing and respect for the natural environment, Finca Agua Caliente reflects a thoughtful, quality-driven approach to coffee production.
The coffee
Grown at elevations between 1,250 and 1,750 metres above sea level, this washed coffee offers a smooth, balanced cup with bright fruit character and gentle sweetness. Notes of kiwi, caramel and lime sit alongside a silky body, creating a refined and approachable profile that works particularly well for filter brewing. Shaped by the region’s unique microclimate and meticulous processing, this coffee showcases the elegance and vibrancy typical of the Apaneca–Lamatepec region.
