What the Brand Says
Region: Santa Ana Volcano, Santa Ana Elevation: 1400-1600 masl About: Finca El Ángel is the sixth and most recent addition to the Silva family’s operation, acquired in December 2022. The farm was originally established in 2018 by the Mathies family, who processed their coffees at the Silva family mill in Apeneca. After tasting the first harvest in late 2021, Rafael Jr. and the Mathies family agreed on a sale, bringing El Ángel into the Silva portfolio. Set high on the slopes of the Santa Ana volcano, El Ángel is planted exclusively with coffee. Five varieties are cultivated: Red Bourbon, Orange Bourbon, Pacamara, SL-28 and Geisha. The farm is now in a period of transition. Rafa is renovating and refining the original vision while maintaining sufficient production to ensure long term viability. Progress can be steady and at times slow, though early results suggest the direction is sound. In 2024, a naturally processed SL-28 from El Ángel placed second in the Natural category at the El Salvador Cup of Excellence. SL-28, developed in Kenya, is recognised for pronounced sweetness and vibrant acidity. This lot was traditionally washed, highlighting its structured, juicy profile.
