For five generations, our family has been harvesting coffee the rich volcanic soil of El Salvador .
We hope to continue the legacy of producing and exporting only the finest single origin coffee.
El Pireo farm is located in the canton El Duraznillo, Dept. of Santa Ana at the volcano Las Ranas,
In the mountain range Apaneca-Llamatepec.
The farm produces superb shade grown coffee due to the altitude of the land between 1150-1600
meters above the sea level. The farm’s coffee plantation is mainly Bourbón, and these year we are planting some Pacamara variety which produces one of the finest cups.
El Pireo won, with the help of our hard working staff, the 6th place at the El Salvador 2014 Cup of
Excellence. This achievement is helping us to improve the farm coffee production and quality of life to our working staff. El Pireo coffee proudly belongs to the Rainforest Alliance, Denomination of Origen & Starbuck.
