Mendez Family

The Mendez family produces coffee in the Apaneca-Ilamatepec region of El Salvador. Their catalog representation spans an altitude profile typical of this volcanic coffee-producing zone, focusing on distinct regional terroir. Their varietal landscape includes a diverse mix of cultivars. The catalog features plantings of SL28, Pacamara, Bourbon, Typica, and Geisha varieties across their offerings. The family's processing methods cover both honey and natural treatments. Their catalog presence includes options tailored for different brewing styles, ranging from espresso to filter preparations. Current catalog distribution shows their coffees carried by Industry Beans, with two lots represented in the index. Recent catalog examples include El Salvador El Angel prepared as a honey process, and Los Tres Potros prepared as a natural process utilizing a blend of SL28, Pacamara, Bourbon, Typica, and Geisha varietals. The Mendez family's work in the catalog is distinguished by a diverse varietal selection processed through both natural and honey methods.
