Apaneca is in western El Salvador, near the Honduran border, and is renowned for its unique microclimate and high-quality coffee. The team hand-picks the ripest cherries and sorts only the highest-quality cherries. The fruit is then fermented anaerobically for 4 to 12 days, allowing a wide modulation of flavor development. Look for intense flavors of red grapes, Concord jelly, and Fig Newtons.
We recommend letting fresh coffee rest to allow the beans to stabilize. This will result in a sweeter, more expressive cup. We rest washed coffees 5–10 days, naturals 10–15 days, and experimentals 15–30 days.
