The Terroir

Altitude is
the whole story.

Santiago de María sits in the Tecapa–Chinameca range, a corridor of dormant volcanoes in eastern El Salvador. The soil here is young andisol — mineral-dense, free-draining, and startlingly fertile.

At this elevation the cherry ripens slowly. Slow ripening means denser beans, more concentrated sugars, and the layered acidity that defines a true Strictly High Grown lot.

The Collection

Four lots from our inaugural container. Green beans sourced in Santiago de María, roasted to order at our facility in the United States.

How It Works

Green there.
Roasted here.

Most importers roast at origin and ship a product that ages in a shipping container for eight weeks. We do the opposite.

Sourced at Altitude

We buy directly from growers in Santiago de María, selecting lots by cup score rather than by volume. Every lot is traceable to the finca.

Roasted in the U.S.

The green arrives by sea and rests in our warehouse. We roast in small batches to order, so coffee ships days after roasting — never months.

Shipped Fresh

One-way valve bags, roast date stamped on every order, free shipping over $50. Peak flavor lands in your kitchen, not in a warehouse.

Our Origin

The name means
summit.

In El Salvador, la cumbre is the ridge where the coffee stops and the cloud forest begins — the highest ground a farmer can plant, and the ground that produces the finest cup.

Our first container is a small one, and deliberately so. We would rather bring in four exceptional lots than forty ordinary ones. Each is roasted here in the States, on our own schedule, to a profile developed for that specific harvest.

A coffee should taste like the place it came from — the altitude, the soil, the hands that picked it.
