SL28 of El Salvador Andes Farm (2017 WBC Champion beans with the same owner)

The beans used by Dale Harris, the 2017 WBC World Coffee Masters champion, came from SL28 planted by Salvadoran coffee farmer Menedez. The beans beat all the rosy summers in the final to become the best coffee in the world. Everyone began to wonder, what kind of coffee is this?

Ernesto Meng é ndez is a very famous coffee farmer in El Salvador. He owns several farms, including La Illusion, Los Andes, and Las Brumas. These three farms have brilliant award records. La Ilusion won the El Salvador Cup of Excellence Cup in 2008, and Andes won the 5th Phantom Cup in 2010.

SL28 is very rare in El Salvador, but Menedez has this bean from Kenya on both his Mist and Andes farms. When he bought the farm in 2009, he found this special bean in the Andes and loved it very much. The fog turned out to be only bourbon, and the SL28 planted on the farm was entirely from the Andes, and this time the Dale Harris used a special batch of SL28.

Located in Canton of Palo Campana, an hour's drive from Santa Ana, with an average elevation of 1720 meters, Andes Farm is located in the heart of the Ilamatepec volcanic area, surrounded by Andes National Park (National Park Los Andes), so the farm is also named Andes. The surrounding wild insects, fish, birds and animals are active, and the luxuriant pine and cypress trees in the national park provide excellent microclimatic conditions for the farm, which is of great help to coffee cultivation.

More than 60 years ago, the former owner of Andes planted the Kenyan coffee variety SL28 on the farm, which he brought back from a trip to Kenya. It grew very healthily and flourished in the garden. After Ernesto took over the farm, with this special Kenyan flavor, he won the fifth of the 2010 Cup of Excellence Cup!

Ernisto not only required strict maturity during harvest, but also went through two manual screening procedures to remove unqualified cherries, and then immediately sent them to the San Carlos processing plant on another farm for washing. After removing the peel and pulp, ferment for 16 hours, wash the shell beans with clean water, and finally put them on the African elevated shed bed to dry until the moisture content reaches 11.00%.

Drop loved the coffee so much that he bought all the SL28 produced on the Andes farm. Joana said of the owner Menedez, "when we tested his coffee in Ernesto's laboratory, we saw his profound knowledge of coffee, whether it's planting, handling, packaging, roasting, cup testing, and so on. We are very happy to have his coffee!"
