8 - Puerto Arturo - El Salvador 2024 (Experimental)

Zenith Coffee is our brand for Las Neblinas Estate Farms, which is made up of Fincas
Puerto Arturo and Finca El Carmencito. Being that these farms are small in area (24
manzanas/16.77Ha) and large in altitude (1,525-1675 masl), in 2014 we decided to
dedicate these farms completely to the production of specialty coffee. We
renovated about 85% of these farms with varieties such as Pacamara, Red and
Orange Bourbon, along with Gesha in the highest zones.

Zenith means mountain peak and our farms are found in the Cerro Grande de
Apaneca (Region Apaneca - llamatepec) which are the zones highest in altitude
and most fertile in El Salvador. "Las Neblinas Estate Farms" is the set of both farms "Las
Neblinas" is because in the afternoons the mist of the mountain descends to the area
of the varietal garden and the highest parts of the farm.

The farm has the perfect elevation and microclimate to deliver the best quality of
specialty coffees, it’s all shade grown and we pick only the ripest cherries and post
select them for gourmet quality. Farm has it's own African Raised beds area to
process our naturals. We do Quality Control, and constant cuppings throughout the
process.

The farm has a Garden of Varietal where we monitor the state of our zone for diverse
varietals of coffee. The garden is also an area where we plant different kinds of
flowers that bring fauna like birds, butterflies and bees that help pollinate. We have
an active inventory of birds (16 registered hummingbird) and a pond where Koi fish
and Maki frogs grow, both of which are in danger of extinction. We recognize that
our farm plays an important role in our environment and we are proud to use
practices that protect species in danger of extinction to see this diversity in every
season.
We are committed to the prosperity of our workers, men and women that are heads
of their family, to collaborate throughout the year and the future to increase the
production of specialty coffee and sell it through direct trade. We will prioritize
sustainability in every aspect economic, social and environmental. We desire to
have a brand recognized for it’s and it’s quality coffee.
