Ignacio Gutierrez, Natural

Our third coffee and also third varietal from Nacho, this pacas varietal won us over with it’s clean natural profile and high sweetness. It’s been a pleasure buying Nacho’s coffees through Cafe Imports for a third year. 

Ignacio Gutierrez has a long history in farming: Before he started planting coffee in the year 2000, he worked with wood and tomatoes and started his farms with just 500 coffee trees. He grows coffee on about 5 manzanas of rich soil in El Salvador, and has produced fantastic lots year after year: In both 2011 and 2013, his coffees took first place in the CoE competition. He produces a strong selection of heirloom varieties, processing some as Washed, Natural, and Honey.
