‘El Pedregal’ is one tablon (plot) inside the greater ‘San Francisco’ farm just north of Santa Ana volcano. Owned by Jose Antonio Salaverria- a 6th generational coffee producer.
Grown at an altitude of 1400 masl. Nordic Approach works closely with the family to experiment with different processes to get the best from the coffee. This heirloom lot has been fully washed and soaked.
The Salaverrias are responsible employers offering fair salaries, working conditions and bonuses to their workers as well as medical care and education. The family have been working over the last 8 years to regenerate their soil through the use of organic fertiliser- this has sadly not been the case for many coffee farms in El Sal that have had to give up and abandon their farms due to leaf rust problems they could not combat.
