LOS NARANJOS GEISHA HONEY

CITRUS | GRAPEFRUIT | BLACK TEA | ETHIOPIA STYLE |

In the heart of the Apaneca region, in Ahuachapán, El Salvador, lies Finca Ethiopia, one of the flagship farms of Los Naranjos Café. Founded in 2018, the farm spans 34.5 hectares, only 13 of which are dedicated to coffee cultivation. The remaining area is maintained as natural forest, an important choice aimed at preserving local biodiversity, flora, and fauna.

The farm is located on the slopes of Ilamatepec Volcano, in a privileged environment characterized by rich volcanic soils and an ideal climate for coffee cultivation. The plants grow entirely in the shade of native vegetation, a factor that helps slow the ripening of the cherries and promotes the development of greater aromatic complexity.

Gesha: elegance and purity

Finca Ethiopia is particularly renowned for producing Gesha, one of the most sought-after varieties in the specialty coffee world.

In the cup, Gesha is famous for its extraordinary brightness, juiciness, and clarity, with an elegant and refined aromatic profile. The combination of variety, altitude, volcanic soil, and shade-grown cultivation creates the ideal conditions to fully express the potential of this variety.

The pursuit of quality begins with the plants: before harvest, the cherries undergo sweetness testing to determine the optimal time for harvest and to select only the fruit with the best degree of ripeness.

Environmentally conscious farming

The quality of Finca Ethiopia also stems from an agricultural management approach deeply committed to sustainability.

Weeding is done manually, using traditional tools such as machetes and avoiding the use of chemical herbicides. Soil studies guide nutrient management, while soil conservation measures and rainwater harvesting systems help protect groundwater resources.

The decision to maintain much of the property as natural forest is also an important investment in preserving the local ecosystem.

A coffee recognized at the highest level

Finca Ethiopia's constant pursuit of quality and sustainable approach have earned the farm significant recognition. In 2025, the coffee placed 22nd in the Cup of Excellence competition, confirming the high quality achieved by the farm.

Finca Ethiopia is a refined expression of Salvadoran specialty coffee: a shade-grown Gesha, cultivated on volcanic soils, harvested with the utmost care, and processed in a way that preserves the natural richness of the mucilage.
