El Salvador Finca Mena

Finca Mena, owned by Wilfredo Mena in Alotepec Metapan, Chalatenango, El Salvador, sits at medium altitude and is planted with around 70,000 coffee trees including Parainema, Pacamara, Pacas, Catuai, and Cuscatleco alongside fruit trees. Wilfredo Mena carefully harvests the cherries and de-pulps them on the same day, then ferments them in open-air tanks for 12–24 hours before washing and drying them on patios or raised African beds for up to 26 days. Parainema, a dwarf and high-yielding variety, thrives in this environment and is resistant to rust and nematodes. Juicy apple acidity with dark chocolate and cranberry notes, finishing with a mellow sweetness.
