El Salvador Himalayan Manor Central and South American boutique coffee flavor

Located in Santa Ana, a famous producing area in the Apaneca Mountains at an altitude of 1500 meters, Himalayan Manor is one of the few estates managed by Aida Batlle. The main varieties planted are bourbon.

The coffee beans from the estate are washed at Mauricio Salaverria's El Divisadero processing plant in Ataco, and then evenly dried in an African elevated shed bed with the help of sun and ventilation. Following the career of his parents and grandparents, Mauricio has been associated with coffee since childhood, especially focusing on the cultivation of boutique coffee.

Flavor description: red wine, sour plum, brown sugar, full taste and long finish

About Project Origin

The winner of the Sasa Sestic,2015 World Barista Competition and his business team ONA Coffee started a raw bean shopping program called Project Origin three years ago. The project works directly with coffee growers in poor countries and regions to improve their production conditions and give them a purchase price 20% higher than the fair trade price.

The original intention of the project also includes strengthening the links between roasters and coffee farmers and guiding coffee farmers to grow high-quality coffee beans. So far, Sasa has established relationships with coffee growers from eight countries, including Brazil, Panama, India, Ethiopia, El Salvador and Costa Rica.
