Story
Chalatenango, located in northern El Salvador, is distinguished by its unique geographical and climatic attributes, making it a premier coffee-growing region. With altitudes ranging from 1,200 to 1,600 meters, it stands as one of the highest coffee-producing areas in the country. The region's high altitude, volcanic soil, and dry, cool climate create optimal conditions for specialty-grade coffee production.
The slow maturation of coffee cherries due to the dry conditions during harvest enhances the complexity of Chalatenango's coffee, resulting in bright acidity, pronounced fruity notes, and balanced sweetness. Many farms use native trees, such as pines, for shade, promoting sustainable practices. Chalatenango is renowned for the Pacamara variety, a hybrid known for its large beans and unique flavours, including tropical fruits and clean acidity.
The region's coffees consistently excel in competitions like the Project Origin Late Harvest Auction and the Cup of Excellence, boosting international demand and auction prices. Producers often use traditional and innovative processing methods, such as honey and natural processing, to accentuate Chalatenango’s unique terroir, solidifying its reputation in the global specialty coffee market.
