El Salvador • Carlos Escobar - Anaerobic Gesha

This explosive Gesha was produced by Carlos Patricio Escobar at his farm Las Marias. In 2010 Escobar purchased Milan, a barely operating El Salvadorian coffee farm, in order to revitalize it and grow specialty coffee. Upon purchase Carlos had the old Bourbon plantations removed and planted new specialty varieties including, Catuai, Villa Sarchi, Marsellesa, Pacamara, Gesha, Bourbon 300, Yellow Bourbon, Red Bourbon, F1 and Obata. Following this in 2012, Escobar acquired the neighboring farm, Las Marias, and had a similar process started. After acquiring both farms Escobar found twenty families of settlers who worked the farms living in dire conditions, prompting him to have twenty concrete homes built with electricity, potable water and sanitary services. Escobar established new community services; a full health clinic, a daycare and he renovated the community’s school. Carlos Escobar’s track record speaks for itself making supporting him through his amazing coffee an easy investment for us in our desire to promote sustainability and keep good coffee going.
