El Salvador Carlos Lemus

This exceptional microlot from El Salvador offers a warm, comforting cup with notes of cooked red grape and chocolate, accented by hints of cola and stewed berries. Its balanced acidity and mellow sugary sweetness create a smooth, approachable profile that’s both familiar and intriguing.

Sourced from smallholder producers and select estates across the country, these microlots highlight the diversity and quality of Salvadoran coffee. Many of the farms, particularly in the Chalatenango region, are modest in size—ranging from 3.5 to 10.5 hectares—and cultivate classic varieties like Pacas, Pacamara, and Bourbon. With the dedicated support of Cafe Imports’ full-time El Salvador representative, Alberto Reyes, local producers receive year-round guidance in sensory development and agronomy, ensuring consistently outstanding coffees with a strong connection to their origin.
