Emilio Lopez Diaz is a truly special coffee producer whose family has been growing coffee in the rich volcanic soil of Santa Ana for six generations. 
 
We've been buying from Emilio's Finca Ayutepeque for the past 4 years which we also feature in our Profiler Blend. Emilio overseas a vertically integrated operation with farms and a export operations in El Salvador & Brazil as well as roasting and cafe operations in Oklahoma and Portland which he founded after studying Mechanical Engineering in Portland. Upon returning to his families farm in El Salvador he had a profound vision for a truly modern approach to coffee farming informed by his experience as a roaster, his engineering studies and the high cost of production for farmers. He constructed a state of the art processing facility at nearby El Manzano and completely started anew with Finca Ayutepeque planting all new trees of Bourbon & Pacas in easily accessible rows to allow efficient motorised farming.
