Apaneca

---

_Apaneca is a peaceful town of just 8500 people in the Sierra Apaneca Ilamatepec Mountains about an hour and a half northwest of San Salvador. It is just 4350 feet above sea level, but the dense flora, steep mountains packed closely together, cool, misty conditions make it feel higher. An association of co-operative farms named UCRAPROBEX operates the farm. The growers practice organic cultivation and operate under the following principles: protect biodiversity by means of shade and associated crops, ecological management of soil through organic nutrition, the practice of non-chemical pest management, tracking and certifications to ensure traceability. This coffee is extremely versatile. Clean, sweet. Makes a great drip as well as a single origin espresso.
