El Salvador Washed SHG Special Preparation Finca Puerto Arturo

Las Neblinas Estate Farms is a cooperative of two small coffee farms named Finca Puerto Arturo and Finca El Carmencito with a history of over 150 years, that have been owned and forged by 5 generations in the highest mountains of the cordillera de Apaneca-Ilamatepec.
Owned by doña Karla Quirós de Moisés and her husband, Las Nebinas (Spanish: the fogs) was named after its constant presence of clouds, stuck in between two mountains at an altitude between 1400 to 1600 meters above sea level
In Finca Puerto Arturo, the previous plantations of Bourbon with a little of Catimor and Caturra were mostly replanted in 2014 with Pacamara, leaving only a quarter of the land dedicated to the older but duly renewed Bourbon and Catimor, with a little of Costa Rica 95. Finca El Carmencito is mainly planted with red and orange Bourbon varieties. The Pacamara coffee variety is a cross between the Pacas, the natural mutation of the Bourbon variety discovered by don Fernando Alberto Pacas Figueroa in El Salvador in 1949, and Maragogipe, the mutation of Typica with very large cherries: as the latter one, the beans of the Pacamara variety are very big, with striking sugary sweetness and florals notes.
The highest elevation, the fresh climate, the volcanic soil and the abundance of water are the main features that characterize the aroma and cup profile of the gourmet coffees produced by this finca.
