Výběrová káva z El Salvadoru: Spojení vášně, tradice a přátelství

Selected coffee from El Salvador: A combination of passion, tradition and friendship

Jan 17, 2025Ilona Al Saleh

Fine coffee is not just about the taste in the cup – it’s a story that begins on farms far from our homes. At La Bohème Café, we know that behind every bean are people who put passion and expertise into their work. One of them is Mauricio Salaverria, a farmer from El Salvador with whom we have a long-standing friendship and close collaboration.

Mauricio Salaverria and his farms

Mauricio is a renowned name in the world of fine coffee. His Villa Galicia and Divisadero farms are located at an altitude of over 1,500 meters, where natural conditions are perfectly suited to growing exceptional coffee. Volcanic and clay soil, organic processing and careful hand-picking ensure that each bean is of the highest quality.

The Villa Galicia farm grows a red Bourbon variety, which undergoes extended fermentation and is then dried on so-called African beds. This process contributes to a balanced and clean taste, combining sweetness with subtle fruity notes. Mauricio also uses environmentally friendly practices, such as rainwater to remove the coffee husks.

Our collaboration with Mauricio is rooted in mutual trust and a shared passion for coffee. We had the honor of welcoming him to our coffee lab in Prague for a cupping session and enjoying a cup of his coffee together in our café. We have been working with Mauricio for a long time and have visited his farms several times, where we had the opportunity to personally observe the ripening and processing of coffee cherries. His meticulousness and expertise continue to inspire us.

Coffee with a story

El Salvador's premium coffee is not just a drink - it's a taste experience and a story of human determination, friendship and respect for nature. Thanks to careful cultivation and innovative processing, each batch has a unique character that will transport you directly to the slopes of the Salvadoran mountains.

We invite you to taste coffee from Mauricio Salaverria's farms and become part of the story we had the opportunity to experience firsthand. Each cup is a celebration of not only exceptional taste, but also long-standing friendship and collaboration.

Coffees from Mauricio's farms have won numerous prestigious awards, including being ranked among the best in the 2015 Cup of Excellence competition. This competition is a mark of the highest quality and confirms that Mauricio is among the absolute top in the industry.

Stories like Mauricio's inspire us to continue our journey to create premium coffee that is not only delicious but also authentic. Join us on this journey and enjoy coffee that is truly exceptional.
