This clean micro lot is from the Chalatenango region, in the northern part of El Salvador. The region is home to many well-known coffee producers and is known for regularly producing 90+ score coffees.
Finca Los Pozos is located in the municipality San Ignacio, at an altitude of 1,500 masl right in the foothills of the mountains. The farm belongs to Ignacio Gutierrez, a passionate coffee grower who had successfully won two times the first place in the Cup of Excellence competition in 2011 and 2013. It is not surprising Ignacio Gutiérrez produces high-quality coffee year after year. For him, coffee is a great way of improving life and livelihood, and to have financial stability.
Ignacio Gutierrez has years of experience in farming. He started to plant coffee in 2000, with only 500 coffee trees. As the popularity of his coffees grew, his farm steadily increased to about 54,000 trees, mostly Pacas, Pacamara, and SL-28 varieties. Like many producers in this area, his farm has struggled with coffee-leaf rust.
Ignacio uses different methods to process his coffees: Washed, Honey, and Natural, and he dries his coffee on both patios and raised beds, depending on the process and the climate.
