For four generations, women in our family have grown coffee on the volcano of Santa Ana in El Salvador. Our Heirloom Arabica coffee trees feed on the thick, dark volcanic soil that blankets the land surrounding the ancient crater and our shade trees are home to thousands of migratory birds.
Today, Martha (our founder’s granddaughter) runs the finca in El Salvador. She is a member of International Women’s Coffee Alliance and exports the family coffee to Vienna, where Carmen (our founder’s great granddaughter) roasts it with care for our customers in Europe.
