This is an ultra-clean coffee

With a profile characteristic of its terroir and produced using totally organic methods!

Sourced by our agency in El Salvador

Quetzalito is produced in the terroir of San Pedro Necta in the famous Huehuetenango region by an association of local producers. The cherries are grown from the Bourbon, Typica, Caturra and Catuai varieties. Most of the farms are located at an altitude of 1,800 metres.
If we had to describe the process in a few words? The cherries are selected carefully and harvested by hand, fermented for 12 hours, left to dry on patios for 8 to 10 days, then processed.

The region Huehuetenango

Among the three non-volcanic regions, Huehuetenango stands as the highest and driest area under cultivation. Benefitting from dry, hot winds that sweep into the mountains from Mexico's Tehuantepec plain, the region is shielded from frost, allowing cultivation in Highland Huehue to extend up to 2,000 meters aboe sea level. The remote nature of Huehuetenango practically mandates that all producers process their own coffee.
