La Siberia has been in the Silva family since 1870 and is considered one of the most established estates in El Salvador. Now managed by Rafael Jr., the sixth generation of the family to work the land, the farm grows a range of varieties across its steep, high-altitude terrain. Rafael's approach blends the traditional methods passed down from his father with careful attention to each stage of processing.
Finca El Ángel is the most recent addition to the Silva family's portfolio, acquired in December 2022 after Rafael Jr. tasted the first harvest and recognised the farm's potential. Set on the upper slopes of the Santa Ana volcano and planted with five varieties including Red Bourbon, the farm is currently in a period of renovation and transition. Early results have been encouraging. A naturally processed SL-28 from El Ángel placed second in its category at the 2024 El Salvador Cup of Excellence.
Finca La Guachoca has been in the Pacas family since 2008, when they purchased what was then a run-down property on the slopes of the extinct Cerro Verde Volcano between 1410 and 1600 masl. Since 2013 the family have been replanting with specialty varieties including Red and Orange Bourbon, Pacamara, and Bernardina. Alongside their farming work, the Pacas family have developed one of the more considered social responsibility programs in the region, providing health and wellness programs and wages well above the agricultural sector average.
Three farms, one variety, three very different stories. We're pouring them all side by side so you can taste the difference for yourself!
