This years harvest produced a creamy and well-rounded cup. The fragrance has floral tones and an orange citrus aroma. The cup is very juicy, hinting at a red apple acidity. The creamy body rounds out into a brown sugar and caramel finish as the cup cools.



Finca Los Planes, owned by our friends Sergio and Isabel Ticas, began production 18 years ago in the mountainous region of Chaletenango, El Salvador. Following the 2006 2nd place finish in the El Salvador Cup of Excellence, Jeff traveled to El Salvador to meet with Sergio and Isabel, and they quickly became good friends. During that visit, he was immensely impressed that Sergio used the money from the Cup of Excellence auction to improve the beneficio on the farm, thereby improving the processing of future harvests. Sergio's usage of the money showed us that Finca Los Planes was truly dedicated to quality and constant improvement.
