Second generation coffee producer, Jose Enrique Gutierrez is dedicated to producing high quality coffees in a sustainable manner. His family produced coffee in the eastern region of El Salvador but left due to low coffee prices and a civil war in the 1980s. Nevertheless, coffee is Jose’s passion and, when he purchased his first farm in 2007, he did so with a specialty mindset. This San Pacho Anaerobic Natural from Finca El Limo is the natural product of knowledge amassed over time. This knowledge – and the drive to innovate –  has been passed down to 2nd generation coffee producer Jose Enrique Gutierrez, who applies it to producing high quality specialty lots like this one. San Pacho is a high-yielding dwarf variety that’s a cross between Caturra and San Bernardo varieties. The bean looks similar to Typica variety beans.
