El Salvador Yellow Honey – Latin Microlot Medium Roast

Price range: $20.99 through $74.99

THE DETAILS

Produced by Maria Pacas at Finca La Esperanza, this lot represents generations of innovation rooted in one of El Salvador’s most historic coffee families. The Pacas variety itself originated on this estate, a natural Bourbon mutation that has become a defining cultivar across the country, known for its balance, structure, and clarity in the cup.

This yellow honey process highlights that structure while pushing sweetness forward. Carefully pulped and dried with controlled mucilage, the result is a cup that sits right between washed precision and natural depth—layered, clean, and expressive. Expect a rounded body, pronounced sweetness, and delicate fruit complexity supported by soft florals and a silky finish. Honey-processed coffees from this estate are known for their creamy texture and refined sweetness, often paired with subtle fruit and chocolate undertones.

Beyond the cup, Maria Pacas continues to build on her family’s legacy not just through quality, but through education and community impact—working with producers across the region to elevate both farming practices and long-term sustainability.

This is a classic expression of El Salvador, refined through process, and grounded in one of the most important coffee lineages in the world.

We serve whole bean coffee for maximum quality and freshness.

MEET THE PRODUCING PARTNER

The Pacas Family has been producing coffee for five generations, and selling it domestically in El Salvador. Thirty years ago they decided to process and export their coffees for the first time. Ever since, they have worked towards achieving high-quality coffees, caring for the environment and the communities around the farms and mill. One of the Pacas Estate farms is Finca La Esperanza. It is located on the western side of El Salvador and in its fertile soil, the Pacas Family produces 8 different varietals of coffee. This farm is 87 hectares and provides jobs for more than 100 people.

WHY CAFE KREYOL?

We believe farmers should get paid based on the quality of their product and we practice this belief by paying up to 300% higher wages than what Fair Trade requires.

This Direct Trade system, that is now the backbone of Cafe Kreyol, believes that quality and sustainability are parallel.

Our story continues as we work to alleviate poverty in rural coffee growing regions, one cup at a time.
