Choose it when you want a polished Salvadoran coffee with heritage, balance, and a true farm connection.
Find Your Best Grind

For the best flavour, we recommend whole beans and grinding just before brewing. This gives you more control and keeps your coffee tasting its best.

If you’d like it pre-ground, we’ve matched each grind to your brewing method:

Coarse: Best for French press, percolator and cold brew.

Medium-Coarse: Great for Chemex, Clever Dripper, and longer AeroPress brews.

Medium: Perfect for drip coffee makers and flat bottom pour overs.

Medium-Fine: Ideal for pour over (V60) and AeroPress with shorter brew times.

Fine: Best for espresso and moka pots.

Behind The Beans

El Salvador Bourbon

This El Salvador Bourbon comes from Fincona 2, one of the lots on Finca La Argentina, our 170-acre family farm in the volcanic highlands of Apaneca. Grown at 1,200 metres above sea level, this micro lot reflects the kind of coffee our family has known, farmed, and loved for generations.

Bourbon is one of El Salvador’s classic coffee varieties, planted in the country for more than 100 years. On our farm, we have introduced newer and more rust-resistant cultivars over time, but we continue to keep Bourbon in select lots because of the cup it gives us: rounded, sweet, familiar, and elegant, and of course a little of sentimental reasons since some plants are as old as 70 years.

This lot is processed using the traditional washed method, which helps highlight clarity, structure, and brightness. In the cup, that means clean dark chocolate notes, brown sugar sweetness, a silky body, and a soft red grape acidity that brings lift without overwhelming the balance.

Why you'll love this coffee

You’ll love El Salvador Bourbon if you want a coffee that feels classic, refined, and deeply personal.

This is not a trendy coffee chasing extremes. It is a beautiful example of why Bourbon has remained so loved in El Salvador for generations. The cup is smooth and sweet, with enough red fruit acidity to keep it expressive and enough chocolate depth to make it comforting.

It is a great choice for coffee lovers who enjoy clean washed coffees, medium-style profiles, and single origin beans with a real story behind them. Brew it as pour over to highlight the red grape brightness, drip for an elegant daily cup, or French press if you want more body and sweetness.
