Detailed Description
This coffee is grown 4,000 feet above sea level, in volcanic soil of the Apaneca Llamatepec mountain chain of El Salvador. Only the ripest cherries are picked and then sun dried and processed in spring water, yielding a coffee that is smooth, rich and flavorful, with hints of vanilla.

Over 200 years ago the Bourbon Arabica bean was planted in the rich, volcanic mountains of the Santa Ana region of western El Salvador. Around 1876 Don Hilario Menendez began harvesting this sought after single-bean coffee. It became the exclusive botanical variety of coffee tree growing on the Don Hilario Estate.


Today his grandson, Gerardo Menendez, carries on the tradition of Don Hilario's labor of love by continuing to hand-pick and select only the best cherries on the family plantation. This time honored procedure results in one of the most highly rated coffee beans in the world.


Our coffees are available either ground or whole bean. We can grind coffees from Perc (coarse) to Turkish (extra-fine). Please specify when you order if you would like Bean, Perc, French Press, Drip, Melitta, Espresso or Turkish grind.

Hands down the best! 3/2/2019
My husband and I have been fortunate in that we have tasted many different coffees from around the world. Don Hilario is the best!
 
Rich and smooth 12/26/2018
I bought a sampler package of coffees and this is the first one I tried, I used the pour over method and ground the whole beans myself with my new grinder. It turned out very delicious, not too dark, not at all bitter and very smooth tasting. I would buy these beans again!

Full Flavor 8/15/2014
I search specifically for coffees that have full, maybe bold flavors, but are not burnt tasting. This one hits the spot with me
