Our first offering from Isaac Luna is quite the stunner! This naturally processed coffee is an amazing example of both the Pacamara variety and the Chalatenango region of El Salvador. It is dripping with green grape, raspberry, and cola notes and those who enjoy a sugary, fruit-forward cup will surely love this one!

Isaac owns several small farms, where he grows different varieties, including Pacamara, Pacas, and Bourbon. Isaac has been growing coffee since the early 2010s, though he has Bourbon trees on his land that are upward of 45 years old! He sees coffee as an adventure and an opportunity, and as he continues to learn about the process and about cupping, he is anxious to hear feedback and learn how to improve. "Every time, the coffee is different," he says. "You can work harder, and although it's hard, it is very rewarding."

If you like naturals, be sure to give this coffee a try!
