## What the Brand Says

> If you would like your coffee shipped pre-ground, please choose from our 'Select Grind' option before adding this coffee to your cart. La Ilusion Natural is undoubtedly one of our favourite coffees at 3fe. While we have enjoyed Ernesto Menendez's coffee since we opened in late in 2009 and have had many of his coffees on our list recently, it's been a minute since we had the pleasure of roasting La Ilusion Natural and we are so happy to have it back. La Ilusion Natural is packaged in our El Salvadoran bag as part of our Artist Origin Project. The Artist Origin Project is a collaborative initiative where artists from coffee producing countries are invited to create bespoke artwork for 3fe. This origin bag has been designed by El Salvadoran artist, Gabbi Morán. - ****Country:**** El Salvador - **Farm:** La Ilusion - **Farmer:** Ernesto Menendez - **Re******gion:**** Apaneca-Ilamatepec mountain range - ****Altitude:**** 1,750–1,850 m.a.s.l - ****Variety:**** Bourbon - **Process:** Natural
