A word from one of our Waaqa Experts
Carmela
Finca Atzumpa by Old Spike displays all the best typical characteristics of El Salvador origin. Grown at 1,375 meters above the sea level, these beans are the highest grade of El Salvador coffee bursting with honey-like sweetness & refreshing cirtus fruity acidity. We think this coffee is best enjoyed without milk brewed as filter for a light yet vibrant cup.

El Salvador
Apaneca-Ilamatepec, El Salvador
Finca Atzumpa has won much recognition for the quality of their coffees, including top placement in the El Salvador Cup of Excellence in 2018 and 2019. Atzumpa is currently owned by the fifth generation of coffee producers of the Ariz-Herrera family, making it one of the first farms in the Concepción de Ataco region to grow specialty coffee beginning in 1875. The family has been bringing sustainability, social responsibility, and employment to the communities around the farm for over 100 years. The Ariz-Herrera family is one of five local families who created FUNDATACO in 1991, a foundation that helps children from the region join soccer schools and pursue athletic opportunities and scholarships.
