As we sail through the summer, Sailors Coffee Company is thrilled to present our Limited Edition Coffee of the Month for August 2024: "Ease Out the Sail El Salvador." This exceptional coffee hails from the Chalchuapa region in Santa Ana, El Salvador, a region steeped in coffee-growing tradition and excellence. Let’s delve into the rich history of coffee from this remarkable area and discover what makes our latest offering so special.

The Roots of Coffee in Chalchuapa

The Chalchuapa region in Santa Ana has been a cornerstone of El Salvador's coffee industry for over a century. Nestled in the western part of the country, Santa Ana boasts ideal growing conditions with its high altitudes, volcanic soil, and favorable climate. These factors contribute to the production of some of the finest coffee beans in the world.

The Cooperative Cuzcachapa

Our "Ease Out the Sail El Salvador" coffee is sourced from the renowned Cooperative Cuzcachapa. Founded in 1966, this cooperative began with just 56 small coffee farms and has since expanded to support over 1400 member producers. The cooperative's commitment to quality and sustainability has made it a frequent contender in the prestigious Cup of Excellence competitions.

A Legacy of Excellence and Sustainability

What sets the Cooperative Cuzcachapa apart is not just its stellar coffee but also its dedication to environmentally conscious practices. The centralized wet mill at Cuzcachapa is a model of efficiency and sustainability. Here, coffee cherries are floated in recycled water to remove defects before depulping. The coffee is then washed using minimal water and dried on raised beds under the sun. This meticulous process, all completed in one location, ensures that every bean meets the highest standards of quality.

Tasting Notes and Varietals

"Ease Out the Sail El Salvador" is a medium roast coffee that showcases the unique flavors of the Chalchuapa region. Made from the Bourbon and Pacamara varietals grown at an altitude of 1400 meters, this coffee offers a well-balanced profile with tasting notes of milk chocolate, cinnamon, and toasted almonds. It's a true testament to the rich heritage and exceptional quality of Chalchuapa coffee.
