El-Salvador- Villa Galicia

Villa Galicia is owned by Mauricio Salaverria. This 12-hectare farm is located on the "Route of Flowers". Mauricio has invested in an ecological processing plant and has perfect mastery of the post-harvest coffee processes on his Villa Galicia farm.

The story of Villa Galicia goes back more than a century, when Don Manuel Ariz left Galicia, in Spain, and arrived in Concepción de Ataco, in Ahuachapán, in an area known by its inhabitants as the place of "high springs". Señor Ariz then had the brilliant idea of investing in small plots of land nearby, starting with 13.5 hectares of excellent clay-limestone terroir that today make up the Villa Galicia farm.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF THE “NATURE PINEAPPLE” PROCESS?

It could only be the work of process maestro Mauricio Salaverria, at his farm, Villa Galicia!

To achieve this process, the coffees are left to dry for a long time in the shade. Mauricio developed this 'recipe' to enhance a coffee's tropical profile.

This coffee dries in the shade, on raised beds, for almost 30 days, whereas a traditional natural coffee will dry for 10 to 15 days.

The producer ensures that the coffee is stirred regularly to ensure even drying, and time does the rest!
