Region: Chalcuapa, Santa Ana Elevation: 1100-1750 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. Mokka is a very old variety from Yemen and gets its name from the port of Mokha. It produces very small cherries and seeds ruling it out as a commercially viable variety, but it does present a very interesting and complex flavor profile.
