Finca Puerto Arturo

Espresso & filter

At the prestigious mill Beneficio El Carmen, coffee is expertly processed and gently dried on clay patios or raised beds. Fernando Alfaro, the fourth generation to run the family’s mill, works tirelessly with coffee coming from many estates. A combination of experience and a state-of-the-art cupping lab are used to make decisions about how to bring out the best in each coffee. The Pacamara beans in this sweet, complex anaerobic-processed coffee are grown on a 42-acre estate called Finca Puerto Arturo, which is located near the town of Apaneca in the Illamatepec mountain range within the department of Ahuachapan. Cherries from this lot were placed in airtight barrels for 96 hours with selected microbes and carefully controlled temperature to ensure a precise fermentation. Next, the cherries were placed on raised beds and turned regularly for more than 30 days to ensure gentle and even drying. Fruit-forward and fragrant, Finca Puerto Arturo opens with the juicy, bright taste of cherry and peach. Its honey notes linger on the palette after sipping. We recommend brewing this coffee as a pourover to fully capture its strong stone fruit flavor or as an Aeropress or espresso for a sweeter, more mellow taste.
