Have you ever heard of the “nature Pineapple” process?
The
Natural Pineapple is a very clean, sweet, balanced and friendly
natural coffee from El Salvador. The name came about when our Q graders
and Direct trade visitors kept
mentioning Piña or Pineapple attributes
again and again over many cuppings sessions. The name stuck.
Mauricio developed this recipe to enhance the coffee's tropical flavor.
To achieve this process, the coffee cherries must be harvested at their peak ripeness and then transported to the wet mill, located in Ataco's municipality. The coffee is then left to rest for a day in jute bags and then floated to remove impurities and unripe or overripe cherries. Last but not least, the cherries are shade-dried on raised beds for over 25 days.
The producer makes sure to stir the coffee regularly to ensure even drying, and time does the rest!

Manual
The region Apaneca Ilamatepec
The Apaneca – Ilamatepec mountain range, located in western El Salvador, is one of the most important coffee-growing regions in the country. It accounts for approximately 60% of the country's coffee production, thanks to its fertile, volcanic soils and favorable climate for the development and production of specialty coffee. This region is home to approximately 78,000 hectares of coffee plantations, distributed across the departments of Ahuachapán, Sonsonate, and Santa Ana. Economically, this mountain range generates thousands of direct and indirect jobs, from nursery planting to the wet & dry processing to the final bean preparation.
The Apaneca – Ilamatepec mountain range is also home to a rich biodiversity, with cloud forests that protect endemic species of flora and fauna, in addition to recharging aquifers and mitigating climate change, serving as an important green lung and ecological corridor in the region.
