Finca Las Mercedes has a wet mill on the farm, and after the harvest has been sorted and screened for quality, the fresh cherries are immediately sent to the mill. Once the cherries arrive, they are washed in ceramic tile ditches and sent into the pulper where the flesh of the fruit is separated from the bean. After being fed through the pulper, the parchment enters washing channels to separate any remaining mucilage. The coffee is then laid out on clay tile patios to dry for 7-10 days depending on the moisture content and amount of sunlight each patio receives. The meticulous processing and attention to detail has produced stellar results for the bourbon variety from El Pepinal 1. Six years ago, El Pepinal 1 stood at the top of the list as 1st place winner in the 2006 El Salvador Cup of Excellence. We have been thrilled to be her roasting partner ever since. We take great pride in working with exceptional coffee producers and Las Mercedes is one of those farms that rises to the top of the quality list every year.
