We're honoured and proud to hold exclusivity on all the coffees he produces at Los Andes!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eNestled in the Apaneca-Ilamatepec mountain range, Los Andes farm is about 5 hectares, which yields a bit more than we typically buy, but we find it well worth committing to all of the coffee to maintain this valuable partnership. Ernesto holds a lot of knowledge and is always very communicative about how he takes care of the farm, and how he processes his coffees. Walking the farm together with him is like opening a true treasure, he holds so much knowledge and skills from the agriculture, processing and to the cupping table.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLos Andes has quite an interesting story. Almost 60-70 years ago, the previous owner of the farm planted SL28 trees on the land which had been taken home from a hunting trip in Kenya. As a result, the Bourbon varietal at Los Andes now grows right beside the SL28 trees, some of which are now almost 80 years-old. For comparison, most of our coffees come from plants that are only 3-20 years old. At Los Andes, everything is left to grow \"wild\" to create a more wild forest environment and the \u003cspan\u003ecoffee is produced in harmony with the nature. This is also why Ernesto keeps the older plants around, instead of simply planting new ones. \u003c\/span\u003eThe plants age and grow into the natural forest environment that Ernesto is looking for and make the environment really special. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBourbon coffee was first produced in Reúnion, which was known as Île Bourbon before 1789. It was later taken by the French to mainland Africa and to Central America. The taste profile of this Bourbon is one that we like the most in El Salvador, its mature sweetness matches the slightly bigger mouthfeel that is typical for the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.dropcoffee.pro\/pages\/ernesto-menendez-los-andes\"\u003eTo learn more about Ernesto Menéndez and Los Andes click here. \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eInnehåller kaffe, förvaras mörkt och svalt. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drop Coffee","offers":[{"title":"Whole Beans - 250g","offer_id":51642652524874,"sku":null,"price":160.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whole Beans - 1000g","offer_id":51642652557642,"sku":null,"price":580.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground for Filter\/Bryggmalet - 250g","offer_id":51642652590410,"sku":null,"price":160.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground for Filter\/Bryggmalet - 1000g","offer_id":51642652623178,"sku":null,"price":580.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Beans\/Orostat - 1000g","offer_id":51642652655946,"sku":null,"price":290.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0235\/7459\/files\/LosAndesAnaerobicNatural.jpg?v=1760966017","url":"https:\/\/www.dropcoffee.pro\/products\/los-andes-natural-anaerobic-bourbon-el-salvador","provider":"Drop Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
