About the Producer
Finca Ethiopia is a 34.5 hectare farm in El Salvador’s Apaneca region, established as part of the Los Naranjos Coffee group. Originally named Finca La Gloria, the farm was renamed to honour the birthplace of coffee itself. Out of the total land, 13 hectares are cultivated while the rest is preserved as native forest, supporting a thriving ecosystem of birds, wildlife and shade trees.

Located behind the Ilamatepec Volcano, the farm benefits from fertile volcanic soils and cool high altitude conditions that promote slow cherry maturation and excellent cup structure. With varieties like Gesha, SL28, Caturra and Bourbon also planted, Finca Ethiopia is dedicated to producing coffees that reflect both terroir and innovation.

About the Lot
This Gesha underwent an anaerobic natural process designed to enhance fruit clarity and sweetness. Cherries were carefully harvested using Brix measurements to ensure perfect ripeness, then placed into sealed tanks for controlled fermentation. This slow, oxygen free environment builds the red apple and blackberry intensity while developing the caramelised praline finish.

Following fermentation, the cherries are dried on raised beds at high altitude, where the cool Apaneca climate allows for an extended drying phase. This slow, consistent approach ensures exceptional stability and preserves the clean, elegant expression of the Gesha variety.

The result is a refined, resonant cup that balances bright fruit character with smooth, sweet depth.
