Description

Wake up to a cup of pure delight with our El Salvador Las Mercedes La Avila Icatu Honey! This exceptional coffee brings together the perfect balance of sweet and tart citrus, featuring juicy lemon verbena, sweet tangerine and a smooth, deep dark honey finish. Each sip delivers a bright, juicy mouthfeel with a lingering sweet aftertaste that keeps you coming back for more.

What makes this Honey Processed coffee truly special? It comes from the La Avila lot, where the Icatu varietal thrives in a unique micro-climate. Nestled under natural shade and enriched by red clay soil, this terrain enhances the coffee’s natural sweetness, making every cup bold, vibrant, and unforgettable.

Start your day with a coffee that’s as dynamic and flavorful as you are!

Finca Las Mercedes - La Avila Lot

We at Klatch Coffee were drawn to Las Mercedes because of its great coffee, but we found what we fell in love with was the people, the process, and our shared passion for persistently striving to make coffee the best it can be. Finca Las Mercedes is a beautiful coffee farm with owners dedicated to care for their community, their workers, and the environment with the same care that they invest into their coffee. The Ortiz family provides healthcare, food, and clothing to those in the community that are in need. Las Mercedes is committed to ecological care, making efforts to preserve natural wildlife, to maintain compliance with our certifications in the way that the mill’s by-products are disposed of, and to avoid contamination. In the last few years, the Ortiz family has prioritized preservation by planting native trees. We are proud to offer this limited Direct Trade. As part of our Direct Trade relationship, 25 cents of every pound is invested back into the Las Mercedes community, funding community sports programs and the Los Ortiz medical clinic.

Icatu

Icatu is a varietal of coffee that was developed in Brazil in the early 1970s. It is a hybrid of Mundo Novo and Caturra, two popular coffee varieties that are known for their quality and flavor.

After collection, the coffee is put in the wash ditches and the mill is adjusted to leave some of the pulp on the coffee. The coffee is then put on the patios without being washed for a few days and then moved to raised beds until the humidity level is between 11.5% and 12% We at Klatch Coffee were drawn to Las Mercedes because of its great coffee, but we found what we fell in love with was the people, the process, and our shared passion for persistently striving to make coffee the best it can be.

Milks best friend

Foe reference, I've only prepared this as espresso. Although it is good on its own, this really shines when used with milk as a cortado. On its own, it's rich and chocolatey, a little nutty, and sweet. It's not very complex like an Ethiopian light roast that's fruit forward, but I say that in a good way. It's just good, sweet medium roastcoffee. This is probably my favorite choice at the moment to make a classic cortado or cappuccino. I will be buying more to use as such.

Very average coffee. Didn't have the full flavor of other El Salvador coffees I've had. Maybe under roasted.

Lovely

I’m only halfway through this bag but it’s another reminder how much like medium light roasts. Especially for espresso but also great for v60. Simply lovely.

Amazing flavor

Klatch coffee has ruined all other coffee for me and the single origin batches have so much complexity. 10/10 stars will impress mother-in-law and bring honor to you, your cow, your whole family.

Too light for my taste. But I mixed it with the Ethiopia Worka Natural and combined it makes delightful Apricot juiciness.
