Las Moritas

Don Higinio and his wife Doña Aura bought their first small plot of land in 1988, naming it San José Las Moritas. The first coffee seeds planted here were given to Don Higinio from his father.

The farm consists of planes, hills, mountains, and even cliffs that the workers somehow manage to harvest. The soil is different in each area, influenced by the crop that was cultivated there before. The yearly harvest begins on the first day of November in the lowest areas of land and finishes in April in the highest parts of Las Moritas.

The Pacamara varietal is a hybrid of two other varietals, and the beans tend to be bigger than others. Originating from El Salvador but also now found in Central America, the Pacamara variety can be rare and more difficult to cultivate, making it highly prized.  

Processed using the washed method, the beans are then dried under the sun on patios. The coffee is a light-medium roast producing deep flavour profiles, good for espresso and filter.
