El Salvador La Dalia Bourbon

In the middle of the Apaneca mountains in western El Salvador, not far from the border with Guatemala and only 40 minutes from the sea, the Guillen family has been growing coffee for five generations. Mainly the varieties Bourbon and Pacamara but also some Geisha. On their four farms "San Antonio", "La Dalia", "El Mercurio" and "Santa Teresa" they produce a total of 900 quintals, which are approx. 592 bags of 69kg each, i.e. a little more than two containers of coffee per year. We met José Guillen in 2016 at the "Best Of El Salvador" competition organized by the Consejo Salvadoreño de Cafe in San Salvador, where we were able to choose the best coffees in the country.
