Description
K-Fe comes from a specialty coffee operation that dates back to the 1900’s. Since 2009 Florence Mathies Hill, a fourth-generation grower, has managed the farms that fall under K-FE. This operation is inspired by the vision and legacy left by her great grandfather, James Hill, a coffee industry leader producer and exporter who migrated from Manchester, England to El Salvador adopting El Salvador as his own. James Hill is to this day still considered a pioneer in bringing the Bourbon Arabica variety to El Salvador. Since then, the Mathies Hill family has been committed to producing only the best quality of unroasted coffee beans, making efforts to innovate and adapt with the times through dedication and hard work procedures. We have made it our mission to continuously improve best practices, quality in our processes, traceability, and innovation in order to produce the best coffee possible with variables that are in our control. Our Farms are located in Santa Ana, Apaneca- Ilamatepec Mountain range, an area meticulously chosen by our ancestor for its volcanic and fertile land as well for its diverse micro climates. This was one of the most important factors taken in consideration to establish his trade of the Arabiga coffee. This area is also known as the Golden Belt, above Lago de Coatepeque which makes for spectacular views. The two farms that make up K-FE consist of San Jose, and San Jose La Cumbre.
