Café Norte is a micro-mill dedicated to processing high-end specialty coffees in Northern El Salvador’s Alotepac-Metapan region. This lot is sourced from three farms: Machuca and La Hondurita (owned by the Díaz brothers) and San Andres (owned by Fredy Recinos). Coffee production in these mountains is relatively new, but the microclimate and challenging terrain are perfect for growing high-quality arabica. This honey-processed Pacas lot is slowly dried on raised beds for 30–38 days.
