Cristián Alexander Rodríguez is the producer and owner of the Finca D.R, named after his son Dylan Rodriguez. The farm has 4.9 hectares where 85% of the coffee is Pacamara, 15% is Pacas that grow between 1500 and 1800 meters above sea level.

Cristián is a young producer and the only one in his family who has been harvesting coffee for six years, and three years with a specialty quality approach.

He shares his family already owned the land where the farm is located. This plot had ideal conditions for coffee, but no one had used it before. He then decided to take up that challenge to grow it. As he embarked on this journey, he began to enjoy it and learn more and more, deepening his studies in agronomic management and processing, which is why he enjoys processing washed and honey coffee.

Nowadays, the coffee he grows ferments for 24 hours, always making selective picking, then floating before pulping. 100% of the coffee slowly dries on raised beds for 12 days.

The location

Coffee from El Salvador

El Salvador, the smallest country in Central America, is colloquially referred to as the ‘Land of Volcanoes’. Renowned for producing exceptional coffees with great clarity and sweetness. The coffee industry first took off after their primary crop, indigo, declined with the invention of chemical dyes in the 19th Century.

Farm processes

Honey process

This technique leaves some flesh on the coffee cherry as it is washed and dried. This tends to give a slightly sweeter flavour, but can also reduce the quality and longevity of the coffee due to the fermentation of the sugars in the flesh.
