  • PROCESSING

    This coffee is a washed and long-fermented Bourbon lot from the Apaneca–Ilamatepec region of El Salvador, grown at 1,600 masl and produced by Andrés Salaverría at Finca San Francisco. After selective hand-picking and pre-fermentation, the cherries are pulped and undergo extended aerobic fermentation (72 hours) before being washed and dried outdoors.

    This method delivers a fruit-driven and polished profile with notes of yellow plum, tangerine, dark chocolate, almond and blackberry — a structured, sweet, and expressive washed Bourbon with high clarity.

    HISTORY

    VEGA is the star name assigned to a series of lots produced by fifth-generation producer Andrés Salaverría, whose family has cultivated coffee in El Salvador for over 100 years. After completing the Ernesto Illy Master’s in Coffee Science and Economics, Andrés returned to direct processing, quality and commercialization of the family estates alongside his father.

    Finca San Francisco, located near La Majada, combines fertile volcanic soils, full shade, and selective harvesting with a strong focus on sustainability and community — including forest conservation and local education and health projects.

    Vega ACR reflects this blend of heritage and innovation: classic Salvadoran terroir expressed through modern controlled fermentation and meticulous execution.
