FULL DESCRIPTION
All the coffees produced by Andres Salaverria are carefully processed in its production chain, where the % Brix measurements taken directly on the plant are taken into account to ensure that the coffee is 100% ripe, the selected coffee harvest, its traceable process by variety, lot or any other distinctive feature, and care in the fermentation or in any other specific process of each lot, always taking care of the drying and storage of the coffee.
Producer:
Since I was a child I have had a passion for growing coffee.
I like challenges and growing coffee presents strong challenges, it's worth working and always trying to innovate new things, I also like working with the social and ecological components around growing coffee.
I am the fifth generation of coffee farmers in my family and have been involved in coffee farming for eleven years.
FROM WHERE:
The Apaneca mountain range is a volcanic mountain range located in western El Salvador, made up of volcanoes, including the IIamatepec volcano, one of the most active in the region.
Finca San Francisco is a large farm of 294 hectares which has been divided into "tablones". The cherries of each tablone are kept separate to improve processing and preparation. The tablones have an altitude ranging from 1200 to 1700 meters above sea level.
The Salaverria family has a long tradition of producing natural coffees of a quality far superior to that of many other Central American coffees. The climatic conditions are good for naturals: a dry and not too hot climate. The family dries most of its naturals on patios at higher elevations than in Las Cruces. They believe that slower drying on African beds decreases fermentation and pulp flavor and helps create a cleaner, more complex profile. Wanting to improve it, in recent years they have made some experiments with naturals dried in the shade on raised beds. The result is a delicate and aromatic coffee.
PROCESS:
The cherries, after being manually picked and selected, are fermented in airtight containers in complete deprivation of oxygen for 3 days, then placed in hermetically sealed plastic bags for another 3 days maintaining constant control over the fermentation by opening or not some bags. At the end of the fermentation the cherries are left to dry in the sun and alternating shade. This process is called "Extended Anaerobic Natural" and allows the maximum expression of the aromatic notes typical of this exceptional coffee.
The anaerobic fermentation process used for the production of this coffee enhances its natural fruity aromas, giving it a rich and complex taste. There are notes of exotic fruit, cherry and amaretto, with a subtle note of acidity from red fruits that provides a refreshing finish. This coffee is best enjoyed black or with a splash of milk, and is perfect for an early morning recovery action or an after-dinner drink.

How to choose:
ROASTING
We roast in two different ways, dividing into two main groups, based on the type of extraction:
- Light: suitable for Filter/Aeropress-type extractions, or for those looking for a coffee with a note of marked acidity and many aromas.
- Medium: suitable for Espresso/Moka extractions, or for those who want a coffee with a much more intense flavor and a touch of bitterness.

GRINDING
There are dozens of different grinds, it can be said that each machine or equipment needs a grind ad hoc.
With us you can choose to buy ground coffee for Moka or Filter.
We have tried to summarize them as follows:
- Ibrik/Cezve:
- Espresso:
- Moka:
- V60 Filter:
- Chemex:
- French Press/Infuser:

How to:
ESPRESSO
Espresso requires some precision rules:
- Quality coffee
- Roasting within 30 days
- Fine Grind
- Water temperature around 90-92°
- A single serving of 8-9g (double of 15-17g)
- Extraction time approximately 25 seconds
The use of quality espresso machines (range from €600 upwards) can ensure a better result.
Machines that also have a coffee grinder to grind "fresh" coffee are preferable

MOKA
The Moka requires a little attention:
- Use filtered or bottled water (NO TAP)
- Roasting within 30 days
- Medium-fine grinding
- Fill the boiler with water without going over the valve
- Put the ground coffee into the filter without pressing or making ontagnettes, simply level it at the edge
- Put on medium heat
- Wait for the liquid to rise through the chimney pot, without letting it bubble (TURN OFF AS SOON AS THE FLOW OF COFFEE STARTS TO GO FAST AND COLORLESS)
- Mix before serve
The Moka must only be washed with water and any neutral detergents (taking care to rinse thoroughly with water), never in the dishwasher or with abrasive sponges.

FILTER V60/CHEMEX
Filter or Chemex coffee requires precision in timing and in weights, some advice:
- Quality coffee
- Roasting within 20 days
- Medium grind (medium coarse for Chemex)
- Filtered or bottle
- Water temperature around 90-94° depending on the coffee used (generally washed at higher temperatures)
- About 15g of ground coffee for every 250g of water (chemex at least 30g per 500g of water)
- Pre-infuse 30-40 seconds pouring in hot water for double the weight of coffee used
- Pour the water in two or three steps at will with a rotational direction being careful not to create too much turbulence
- Contact/percolation time approximately 3 minutes (4-5 for Chemex)
A light toast is generally recommended for filter systems

AEROPRESS
The Aeropress requires some precision rules:
- Quality coffee
- Roast within 20 days
- Medium grind (or as preferred)
- Use filtered or bottled water
- Water temperature approximately 85-90°
- A dose of approximately 17g per 200-220g of water
- Pour water for pre-infusion for 30-40 seconds
- Mix with the appropriate spoon
- Then pour the remaining water and close the cap
- Turn the aeropress upside down and press firmly but constantly until extraction is complete
- Total contact/infusion time of 2-3 minutes
