The coffee story
All coffees from Santa Maria are shade-grown and hand-picked. The farm supervisors manage the canopy in a way to allow more direct sunlight in winter and less over the summer. This ensures the plants, recently renovated, yield well without damaging them. The trees receive optimum levels of fertilizers and are pruned regularly. The volcanic soil is rich in nutrients, helping the cherries develop a high level of sugars that produce great coffees.
The process
Cherries are hand-picked and sorted at the farm. The coffee is taken to clay patios to sundry.

Cafe Pacas
Our family grows coffee in multiple farms in the Western part of El Salvador within the Apaneca-Ilamatepec mountain range, a region known for its fertile volcanic soil. The Pacas variety was discovered in one of our farms, as well as the Bernardina. Some of our farms have been COE winners with coffees scoring above 90! Our mantra is "To love coffee as we love family". We watch it grow from seedling, we look after it, we nourish it with everything it needs to be its best. We cultivate and treasure our coffee. We believe in it. And when it grows and it is ready, we let it free to go wherever it wants, to all corners of the planet. Doesn't matter how far it goes and where it settles, we still feel it is part of us and we are proud of it. As a company, we are committed to providing our staff with good working conditions, decent wages and training. We also have an internal competition to motivate farm managers to increase the quality of the coffees. Read more about us here: cafepacas.com.
