Efrain Salvador I Second Sunday of Advent

In San Ignacio, a renowned coffee province in the north, Efrain and Maria Flor own a farm named Cerro Azul. The farm, set against the backdrop of blue and green tones, is a family venture where Efrain, Maria Flor, and their daughter work together to produce high-quality coffee.
Since 1993, they have dedicated their lives to coffee production, focusing on improving quality through hard work. Over the years, they have learned the importance of effective management for profitability and the meticulous processes of slow drying and selective cherry picking.
Their significant achievements include winning 2nd place in the Cup of Excellence in 2017 and 3rd in 2022, and they continue to strive for excellence in their coffee journey.
Efrain and Maria Flor begin their coffee process by carefully selecting perfectly ripe cherries. After sorting, the cherries are placed in airtight bags to ferment for 36 hours. Subsequently, they are spread in an even layer on shaded raised beds for 28 hours before being moved to the main drying patio for up to 30 to 40 days.
