El Salvador is known as “the land of volcanoes,” El Salvador is the smallest Central American country, but its reputation among specialty-coffee-growing regions has grown larger-than-life, especially since the early 2000s.

Finca Los Naranjos began in 2015 as a hobby by a group of high school friends. When they acquired the 38.5-hectare farm, it had been abandoned for many years and was in a state of chaos. It was a challenge to transform a forgotten farm into a center that now employs more than 200 families in the surrounding communities. They went through many stages of learning along the way to make the dream of running a successful farm a reality. From here they hope to continue building on their progress to make Los Naranjos a well-known and respected farm that stands out in the world. Currently, the farm also boosts coffee appreciation and consumption through a tourist center called Entre Café Experience.

Their coffee is 100% shade-grown with different species of shade trees native to the mountainous area. Since their farm converges with the protected area of ​​the mountain, they have native wildlife such as deer, cotuza, armadillo, toucans, parakeets, and squirrels, among others.

Harvest typically runs from January through March. Managers train the coffee pickers on how to cut the coffee cherry with the optimal degree of maturity for a suitable raw material. Before harvesting, areas of the farm are sampled through Brix measurements to best determine ideal ripeness.
