How is this coffee processed?

Firstable, selective harvesting is done on the farm to achieve the appropriate level of ripeness and achieve good fermentation. After manual selection, we take our coffee to the wet mill, where we classify or separate it by density. After we obtain the ideal beans for our process, the cherries are placed in fermentation tanks, water is added, and they are left to ferment for 40–50 hours, depending on how long it takes to reach the desired pH. Once fermentation is complete, we remove the coffee from the fermentation tanks, carry out our pulping process, and, once again, the freshly pulped coffee is returned to the fermentation tanks and left to ferment for 48–60 hours, until it reaches the required pH. Finally, the coffee is transferred to patios for two to four days to be pre-dried. It is then harvested and placed on raised beds to finish drying.

Apaneca is a municipality located in the department of Ahuachapán, El Salvador, and is widely recognized for its mountainous surroundings, temperate climate, and importance within the Ruta de las Flores (Flower Route). Agriculture is the economic pillar of Apaneca, with coffee farming being the most prominent activity.

 

Coffee growing is a deeply rooted tradition in Apaneca, passed down from generation to generation, and constitutes an essential part of the municipality's cultural identity. Coffee generates direct and indirect employment for a large part of the population, especially during the harvest season (cutting) between November and March and contributes to the development of small businesses (cafés, cooperatives, craft sales), which diversifies the economy.


Los Naranjos Café was founded in 2015 and, initially all of its production was outsourced until Los Naranjos coffee mill was built in 2019. Since then, the company has been responsible for carrying out the entire process, from harvesting, processing, and finally exporting.
