El Salvador - Malacara C - Orange Bourbon - Natural

87 points · Orange Bourbon · Natural · ~1,400 masl · Santa Ana, El Salvador

Dark chocolate, raisins, and cinnamon.

The farm

Malacara C, one of the three historic plots of the old Finca Malacara on the slopes of the Santa Ana Volcano, part of the coffee legacy of the Álvarez family. Third place in the Cup of Excellence El Salvador 2003 with 90.32 points. Approximately 42 hectares on clay-loam soils.

The process

The same Orange Bourbon as the washed lot, but dried in cherry. The natural process enhances the fruit, body, and sweetness, and provides a rounder and darker profile than the washed version, without losing the Salvadoran character or making it unrecognizable.

Why this lot

The most distinctive of the four. It fits perfectly in a limited edition or as a filter single origin when you want the cup to speak for itself.

69 kg bags. Available in Barcelona. Very limited.

Story

Malacara C is one of three historic lots created when the old Finca Malacara, on the slopes of the Santa Ana Volcano, was divided. The property belonged to the Álvarez family's coffee holdings and in 1920 became the operational centre for all their farms in the area. It was later inherited by three of Don Rafael's grandchildren — Samuel, Emma and Arturo Álvarez Meza — which is why it exists today as lots A, B and C.

Lot C is historically linked to Francisco Arturo Álvarez Meza. In 2003 it placed third nationally in Cup of Excellence El Salvador with 90.32 points, a result that established the farm's reputation.

The name has a curious origin. The farm was once called Medellín, after Don Rafael Álvarez's birthplace, but locals kept calling it Malacara after a well-known local figure, and the nickname prevailed.

Around 42 hectares at about 1,400 masl, on clay-loam soils. Harvest runs from January to March and flowering from April to May. The farm is planted mainly with Bourbon and Pacamara, along with Catimor and Cuzcatleco. Curador sources four distinct lots here: washed Bourbon, washed Orange Bourbon, natural Orange Bourbon and Pacamara.
