TRES BOURBON SEASONAL BLEND

Tres Bourbon is back! Comprised of Red, Yellow and Orange Bourbon Varietals from Finca Malacara in El Salvador. We blend them all together to make one of the sweetest coffees we have ever tasted!  

One of our first Direct Trade efforts, this is our 8th year purchasing this coffee from the Dumont Family. Finca Malacara sits at 1500 meters, and consists of Red, Yellow and Orange Bourbon coffee varieties. There are roughly 125,000 coffee trees, and 10,000 native shade trees on the 50-hectare farm. The Inga trees have large leaves that provide shade as the coffee grows, allowing for a slow maturation of the coffee cherries.

The farm is also diversified with crops such as avocados, prunes, raspberries and peaches that are sold at local markets. Both soil and plant are analyzed then given only what nutrients they are lacking through eco-friendly fertilizers.

Five families live on the farm, which gives guaranteed employment of 20 year-round positions and around 100 more during the harvest. The coffee pickers are paid 50% above minimum wage. A school, health clinic and soccer field are also available for use by the workers and their children.
