This edition of our Seasons Best comes to us courtesy of a esteemed producer Emilio Lopez as part of our ongoing relationship with his farm 'Finca Ayutepeque'. You can also find this coffee as a key component in our Profiler over the past 6 years.
Showcasing this coffee on it's own with Seasons Best allows those rich toffee, orange and milk chocolate notes shine for both milk & black drinkers. 
 
Finca Ayutepeque’s name comes from the Mayan word for AYUTE, which stands for turtle, and PEQUE, that means mountain. The farm is located in Chalchuapa, Santa Ana, EL Salvador, between 1,000 - 1,100 meters above sea level, and has a span of 153 hectares.

Founded in 1840, Finca Ayutepeque has been managed by the same family for six generations, now producing Pacamara, Pacas, and Red Bourbon varietals. Coffees from this farm are now known for being wonderfully suited as a base for espresso.
 
Bourbon, a famed varietal and the result is a coffee that possess' rich chocolate & toffee notes but balanced with sweet dates and a subtle orange like acidity.
