El Salvador Finca Colomba Bourbon - Semi-Washed

Finca Colomba has been in the Adolfo family for three generations. In 1949, Adolfo McEntee inherited two properties from his family in the Cordillera de Llamatepec, on the slopes of the Santa Ana Volcano. At this time, Don Adolfo began planting Bourbon coffee trees at Finca Colomba and Finca San Francisco. Don Adolfo’s son, José Adolfo McEntee Batlle, inherited the farms and continued the legacy before passing them down to his son “Fofo.”

After being kidnapped twice during the civil war in the country, José Adolfo emigrated to Miami with his son and left the management of the farm to Mario Valiente, owner of Finca Calera. In 2014, Mario Valiente built Colomba’s dry mill, giving the farm direct control over every step of the process from farm to export. Great care is taken in preparing each coffee for export, with 10 women, who are heads of their households, overseeing the final quality check through manual sorting.
