El Salvador Pacamara Specialty Coffee Beans

Samuel Luna owns Finca Luna in Chalatenango El Salvador. This farm is 4 hectares, has roughly 14,000 trees, with an annual production of roughly 37 quintales of parchment. Samuel also grows citrus fruit and bananas on Finca Luna. Samuel utilizes a dry fermentation on the farm and produces both washed and honeys. Fermentation time is roughly 14 hours and drying on raised African beds can take anywhere from 18-20 days. Samuel has said his biggest challenges are Roya and changing weather patterns like increased rain which can reduce production for him. Our in-country staff member Beto Reyes, has been working closely with Samuel for many seasons helping to navigate improving quality, capacity building, and agronomy support.
