Producer overview

The Alvarez family produces coffee in the Apaneca-Ilamatepec region of El Salvador, specifically within the Santa Ana Volcano area. Their coffee cultivation occurs at an altitude band ranging from 1300 to 1500 meters above sea level.

The family manages a varietal landscape that includes Pacamara, Red Bourbon, and Bourbon. These cultivars are central to their production output as documented in the current catalog.

Their process portfolio demonstrates a focus on both traditional and alternative methods. The catalog reflects a mix of washed and natural processing techniques across their various lots.

The Alvarez family maintains a presence across three different roasters in the current index. Their catalog footprint includes three distinct lots, with two currently in stock. Recent catalog examples include the El Salvador El Borbollon Espresso Roast by Reverence Coffee, which is a washed Bourbon; the El Salvador Finca La Reforma by Per'la Specialty Roasters, processed as a natural Red Bourbon; and the El Salvador El Borbollon by Has Bean Coffee, which is a natural Pacamara.

The work of the Alvarez family is characterized by a balance between established regional varietals and a dual approach to processing.
