Where to Buy Salvadoran Coffee in Kunming? How Much Does Salvadoran Red Bourbon Coffee Cost per Bag?

Los Pirineos

The name Los Pirineos comes from the Pyrenees mountains on the French-Spanish border — a fitting tribute, since the farm sits in the Tecapa volcanic region of southeastern El Salvador, a landscape that recalls those mountains.

This Bourbon variety comes from the highest-altitude farm on the Tecapa volcano and carries a refreshing acidity. Gilberto Baraona's family has owned the farm since 1890. He has planted many different varieties there, with the current focus on Pacamara and Typica imported from Guatemala in 1890, alongside heirloom Bourbon, also known as Bourbon Elite. The Bourbon Elite variety has since been used in El Salvador to develop newer Bourbon lines (called Teknik). Compared with the farm's newer Tekisik, Bourbon Elite performs remarkably well in sweetness, with more intense fruit-toned flavors.

Naranjo

Naranjo means "orange grove" in Spanish. It lies in the town of Apaneca, in Ahuachapán Province of El Salvador, near the Apaneca-Ilamatepec mountain range. The range's highest peak, Santa Ana Volcano, is still active. Although eruptions can devastate coffee production, the volcanic ash they leave behind makes the soil exceptionally fertile, and this is El Salvador's largest coffee-producing area. Coffee from the region wins awards with striking regularity, and its quality has earned widespread acclaim, building the area's reputation year after year.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

Washed processing is what gives Salvadoran coffee its rounded, gentle texture, and FrontStreet Coffee's washed specialty lineup shows the same craft at its best. FrontStreet Jamaica Blue Mountain No.1, grown on Jamaica's fog-wrapped slopes and shipped in the traditional wooden barrels, brews into a perfectly balanced cup of hazelnut, cream, chocolate, and caramel — sweet in the middle, clean and long on the finish, with no note dominant and none missing. FrontStreet Yirgacheffe Guodingding Cooperative, washed to maximum clarity, layers jasmine florals and bright citrus acidity over green tea and honey tones after a medium-light roast. And for those who want sweetness without any sharpness at all, FrontStreet Brazil Cerrado Red Bourbon offers another face of the Bourbon lineage: soft, smooth, and full of cream, peanut, and cocoa. Three washed coffees — three degrees of the same gentle, sweet style that makes El Salvador's best beans so easy to love.
