Clear

From one of El Salvador’s most respected coffee families, this microlot release captures the clarity and elegance of the Geisha varietal, grown in the nutrient-rich volcanic soils of the Santa Ana region. Finca El Reforma is located at 1,300–1,500 MASL, and is owned and operated by the Alvarez family, whose coffee legacy spans over four generations.

This coffee is light-roasted specifically for filter brewing methods like pourovers and AeroPress to ensure the balance, aromatics, and clean sweetness are most pronounced. Expect a cup that reflects both varietal and origin—refined, structured, and thoughtfully produced from start to finish.

The cup opens with aromas of roasted marshmallow and almond, leading into a flavor profile defined by green grape and hazelnut. Its sweet, juicy acidity is supported by a rounded mouthfeel and a finish that’s clean and composed.

The light roast preserves the Geisha’s clarity while allowing the natural process to contribute a subtle fruit undertone and rounded mouthfeel. This is a filter-friendly cup with just enough complexity to keep you coming back, and an approachability that makes it a great introduction to the Geisha variety.

This lot was produced using the natural process, where ripe cherries are dried whole on raised beds before being hulled. The Alvarez family maintains strict control over drying conditions, leveraging decades of experience at their El Borbollon mill, one of the few farm-owned mills in El Salvador.

Drying takes place slowly on traditional clay patios, which regulate heat more effectively than concrete and allow for a gradual, even development of flavor. This hands-on approach, combined with the family’s attention to detail during sorting, fermentation, and drying, results in a clean, consistent cup with excellent structure.

About the farm

Founded in 1892 by Colombian coffee grower Rafael Alvarez Lalinde, Finca La Reforma and its sister farm Finca Santa Maria have remained in the Alvarez family for over a century. Today, the fourth generation—led by the Alvarez brothers—continues the tradition on the slopes of the Santa Ana Volcano, with a strong focus on quality, sustainability, and traceability.

Though best known for Red Bourbon, the family has begun cultivating Geisha and other experimental lots in small volumes. Their on-site wet and dry mills at El Borbollon, managed by Eduardo Alvarez, give them full control over the processing chain, from harvest to export. This allows for small-batch separation, processing by variety and picking day, and a consistent focus on cup quality.

Beyond production, the Alvarez family is deeply involved in the community—offering free education and healthcare services on their farms and working with local NGOs to address issues like child malnutrition. With the next generation already stepping into leadership, the family remains committed to preserving El Salvador’s specialty coffee heritage through thoughtful innovation and long-term stewardship.
