Finca Las Mercedes

COFFEE FLAVOUR NOTES The coffee has delicious flavours of milk chocolate, almond, shortbread and hints of orange. The medium body and acidity lends itself to a balanced and mild cup. ORIGIN STORY This wonderful multiple award winning coffee won Bronze and Silver at the Blas na hÉireann Food Awards 2020/2021 as well as 1 Star at Great Taste Award 2022/2023/2024. It is grown by Fernando & Juan Aguilar from Las Mercedes & Santa Maria across 160 hectares of shade-rich nature on the north-eastern slope of the San Salvador Volcano. Las Mercedes and sister estate Santa Maria are surrounded by 100 hectares of nature reserve designated as a part of the Meso-American biological corridor, including a remarkable 'mini rainforest'. Given the importance of the perseveration of the forest, the Aguilar family, in conjunction with a local NGO, have two park rangers that look after the protected natural forest year-round. The Aguilar family have been producing coffees here for the past 6 generations. COFFEE DETAILS
