The best Salvadoran coffee currently in stock

El Salvador remains a cornerstone of our catalog, and we currently have 20 distinct lots available for your brewing. The selection is heavily defined by the Pacamara variety, which accounts for eight of these offerings, followed by Pacas, Caturra, and Bourbon. While washed processing is the standard here, representing half of the current inventory, you will also find experimental anaerobic and honey-processed lots from regions like Apaneca and Chalatenango. Roasters such as Nomad Coffee, Klatch Coffee, George Howell, and Passenger Coffee provide the most consistent representation in this slice. Whether you are looking for a classic, clean washed cup or a more complex anaerobic profile, these selections represent the highest-scoring Salvadoran coffees on our composite.

What to taste for:Look for the signature heavy body and bright, citrus-forward acidity that defines high-quality Pacamara and Pacas varieties from this region.
