Orlando Aguilar, El Salvador

Meet our latest showstopper: Orlando Aguilar’s Finca Buena Vista – Pacamara Honey! Straight from the picturesque highlands of Chalatenango, El Salvador, this coffee is the flavor bomb your taste buds didn’t know they needed.

So, what’s so special about it? First off, Orlando Aguilar, the coffee maestro behind this beauty, didn’t hold back. He grew this Pacamara variety at a cozy 1300 MASL, where the beans got just the right amount of sun and love to develop their complex character. But Orlando didn’t stop there! He decided to get fancy with a honey process - that’s where things get really interesting. This method leaves a bit of the cherry’s sticky sweetness on the bean during drying, which brings out deeper flavors and a mouthfeel that’s just...wow.

The result? A coffee that’s as smooth as a salsa dancer and as layered as a really good novel. You’ll find tasting notes of praline sweetness, a hint of green tea, mild brown sugar, and those delicate floral undertones that make you want to keep sipping just to figure out what’s going on. It’s got that perfect balance of sweetness and acidity that makes you pause, raise your eyebrows, and say, “Whoa, what is this magic?”

And, as if that wasn’t enough, the coffee’s journey doesn’t end with its gorgeous flavor. Orlando’s careful processing included a 9-12 hour fermentation and 10-13 days of drying on raised beds, all to make sure each bean got the royal treatment it deserved. No shortcuts here—only premium microlot TLC (tender loving care).

So why did we choose this coffee? Well, when something this good comes along, you don’t just sip it and move on - you build it a throne in your lineup! It’s a microlot that truly celebrates the best of what El Salvador has to offer. We’re thrilled to share this gem with you, and we know you’ll enjoy exploring its vibrant personality with every cup.
