El Salvador Manzano, Topeca Coffee 12 oz bag, Single Origin Whole Bean Coffee

Description

Topeca Coffee - El Salvador Manzano - Topeca acquired this SHG farm in 2001. It is also home to our state of the art micro-mill, Cautro M Cafes, where we process all of our Seed-to-Cup coffees. About 90% of this farm is designated to bourbon trees, though in 2005 we have began planting well separated experimental lots of Pacamara, Yellow bourbon, and Kenyan SL-28. Coffees from this farm benefit from the higher altitude, which results in a sweeter, cleaner cup.

Our family grows the coffee in El Salvador where we can oversee every step of the process. We have our hands in every step of process from planting the coffee plant to hand picking the ripest cherries to roasting it here in Tulsa, Oklahoma and serving it in our own shops in Downtown Tulsa. We believe that the best coffee is created by maintaining high quality standards every step of the way. That is why we spend four years taking care of each new “cafeto” (coffee tree) until it grows into a mature plant ready to be harvested. Each year the cafeto blooms cover the landscape with white flowers and an aroma of sweet honeysuckle and jasmine. With good soil, great weather, and a lot of hard work each of those flowers will turn into a succulent coffee cherry containing 2 perfect coffee beans.
