What the Brand Says
Region: Chalcuapa, Santa Ana Elevation: 1355 masl About: When the Pacas family first purchased La Esperanza, in 2010, the farm needed some TLC. Having been neglected for years, but showing significant potential, the family decided to undergo a complete renovation program; not only replanting the farm, but also redesigning it in the process. Now, about two-thirds of the way through renovation, La Esperanza has become a large variety garden. Having been divided into 18 separate tablons (individual lots), each growing a different variety; including Pacas, Red Bourbon, Bernardina, and Mokka, to name a few. Due to the steep gradient, unique micro-climate and biodiversity, and the Pacas family’s hard work, coffees from La Esperanza have placed in the Cup of Excellence competition three times, most recently in 2021. The Cascajal tablon sits at 1,355 masl and is planted exclusively with Pacamara. When processed as a natural this coffee is loud and fruity, with notes of plum and dark chocolate.
