Justo Gonzalez Lot El Riyito

We met the Café de Don Justo team at SCA EXPO in Portland this year and fell in love with their coffees for its natural sweetness. The two lots we sourced specifically for the feelings we crave during the Fall season: Warm, cozy and inviting. Our experience with each variety made us nostalgic for some of our favorite treats: Honey Nut Cheerios (Pacamara) & Caramel Apples (SL-28). 

About The Farm
Located on the eastern side of El Salvador in the Tecapa-Chinameca region, coffees grown in this region are surrounded by active volcanos and a volcanic sulphur lake that is known for its beautiful turquoise color. The rich volcanic soil and natural microclimate create great conditions for growing high quality varieties. 

About The Variety
SL-28 is a variety that offers a different cup than what is typically found in Central America. It is of African origin (Kenya), and the Don Justo team finds that the Honey process is the best processing method that highlights these attributes the most.
