The Coffee
El Salvador Finca El Ingenio is a coffee rooted in heritage. The farm has been in the Urrutia family since 1875, passed down through six generations who have each brought care, precision, and a commitment to quality. Grown in the Ahuachapán region of western El Salvador, the farm is both Rainforest Alliance certified and part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. It is fully shade grown—a method that not only protects the ecosystem, but also encourages slower cherry ripening. This extended maturation allows natural sugars to develop more fully, resulting in a cup of remarkable sweetness and complexity.
This particular lot is honey processed. The sticky fruit mucilage is left on during drying, allowing a gentle fermentation to develop. The result is a coffee with a little funk, a lot of character, and just the right amount of intrigue.
In the cup, it is bright and expressive. Grapefruit and lime meet tropical fruit and a fudge-like finish. Roasted to a medium profile, it is lively as espresso, juicy and clean on filter, and softens beautifully with milk.
Chosen as by both our roastery and shop teams, it also marks a welcome addition to our collection bringing a rare honey processed coffee to our offering.
International Coffee Day: A Story That Continues
“At its beginning H.R.Higgins (Coffee-man) had to be wholesale only because, as my father says in his diary, you couldn’t expect retail customers to climb up five flights of stairs.”

From Honduran Highlands to Your Cup
In Marcala, Honduras, coffee is not just grown — it’s lived. What began with sixty-nine farmers determined to protect their land has grown into COMSA, a cooperative of more than 1,200 members whose work reaches from the mountainside to the classroom. Their coffee carries with it not only the flavour of the highlands, but the promise of a stronger, more hopeful community.
