San Miguel Mill in Ahuachapán, El Salvador

This coffee was grown on numerous farms and processed together at the San Miguel mill. The smallholder farmers grow their coffee in the shade to reduce the need for pesticides and use organic compost made from the pulp of unused cherries.

Once received at the mill, all aspects of processing, from receiving cherry to export, are carefully quality controlled and monitored.
