The Las Mercedes honey method is a holistic process which accounts for everything from harvest through to dry mill delivery. Before harvest, cherry brix readings are taken and are only harvested above a level of 24, sometimes reaching as high as 28-29. The cherries at this level are a deep red-purple colour. The cherries are de-pulped retaining a high amount of mucilage and then dried on raised beds for 22 days, including both sun and shade, a new method which Fernando is calling ‘Sol-Sombra’ drying.
Coffee was first introduced to El Salvador from the Caribbean as a garden crop in the mid-18th century but did not gain a commercial production foothold until 1850’s because indigo, easier to grow and more profitable, was king. Coffee was first exported - 695 bags - in 1856 and the government began to encourage coffee farming. Exponential growth coincided with the development of synthetic indigo near the end of the century. At one time, El Salvador was one of the largest producers of commercial coffees. Today, with a focus on quality over quantity, 70% of coffee from El Salvador sells for a premium above commodity prices.

Brought as a gift, your coffee comes highly recommended from previous purchases ☺️
Just great tasting coffee which is very forgiving of my lack of barista skills because it is just so good.
With all the "specialty single origin" coffe stores out there and after trying several promoted on social media ads, I accidentally found this one and let me tell you, all coffes I bought from them so far are neat. If quality stays like this, I'll keep buying for sure.
Delicious as I've come to expect from all Outpost coffees
