Familia Diaz Honey.

This is our fifth year sourcing coffees from the Diaz Family. Our importing partners, Caravela, have been working with the Diaz’ and other producers in this area since 2012. They have managed to help these producers through a coffee rust infestation that swept Central America in 2014-18 and improve quality and consistency of their coffees at the same time. The Diaz’ family has been growing coffee in Chalatenango since the 1960s. They separate their coffee by variety and this lot is made up entirely of the pacas variety. Pacas naturally mutated in El Salvador from 2 old stock varieties and this variety tends to both showcase sugary sweetness and bright acidity. This lot is the best of the best from the Diaz’ 3 family farms. This coffee comes from the top scoring honey process lots they produced this season, and is incredibly bright and full of ripe fruit. We got notes of candied citrus, fig, raisin, fruit punch, and a really silky, juicy body.
