This is a unique presentation of the SL34 varietal! SL34 is often found in Kenya and in this coffee we taste characteristics of the classic Kenya SL34 red fruit profile mixed together with El Salvador sweetness and milk chocolate flavor profile. We find a sweetness forward profile of strawberries balanced with lovely milk chocolate. Let this one cool and you'll find the expressive SL34 characteristics melded with a sweet El Salvador profile! 

From Proud Mary:

First established in 1872, Finca El Manzano has remained under the stewardship of the López Díaz family for an impressive span of seven generations. In 2005, after completing his studies in the United States, Emilio López Díaz moved back to El Salvador to manage the family’s farm, where he implemented practices aimed at improving the quality of coffee being produced. In addition to improving the agricultural management of the farm, he also constructed a processing mill, affording the team at El Manzano precise control of all post-harvest processing.

While the farm has been established for generations, and coffee is certainly in Emilio’s blood, the team at El Manzano isn’t tied to history or tradition. They apply data and metrics to their post-harvest processing and plant exotic varieties not typically found in El Salvador, such as Geisha and SL-34.
